Adverse health effects of condensable organic compounds (COC) and potential secondary
organic aerosols from wood combustion emissions are difficult to determine. Hence …

Combustion of biomass and wood for residential heating and/or cooking contributes
substantially to both ambient air and indoor levels of particulate matter (PM). Toxicological …

Background: Respiratory tract deposition of air pollution particles is a key to their adverse
health effects. This study was aimed to determine the size-resolved deposition fraction (DF) …

Combustion of wood produces particulate matter (PM) emissions having the potential to
induce respiratory tract diseases in humans. To date, however, few, if any, in vitro submerse …

Beside primary aerosols, biomass combustion also contributes to Secondary Organic
Aerosols (SOA) and Secondary Inorganic Aerosols (SIA). Volatile Organic Compounds …

Inhalation of particulate matter (PM) from residential biomass combustion is
epidemiologically associated with cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. This study …

In 2018, 3.8 million premature deaths were attributed to exposure to biomass burning
nanoparticles from wood combustion. The objective of this study was to investigate and …

Indoor air pollution is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Specifically, the
health impact of emissions from domestic burning of biomass and coal is most relevant and …

Context: Particulate matter (PM) has been identified as a major environmental pollutant
causing severe health problems. Large amounts of the harmful particulate matter (PM) are …

Residential heating is an important local source of fine particles and may cause significant
exposure and health effects in populations. We investigated the cytotoxic and inflammatory …
