Particulate matter (PM) is a crucial health risk factor for respiratory and cardiovascular
diseases. The smaller size fractions,≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5; fine particles) and≤ 0.1 μm (PM 0.1; …

Rationale: Ambient ultrafine particles (UFPs; with an aerodynamic diameter< 0.1 μm) may
exert greater toxicity than other pollution components because of their enhanced oxidative …

Fungi exposure has been significantly linked to respiratory illness. However, numerous fungi
