Objective: There is substantial evidence that exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM)
from road traffic is associated with adverse health outcomes. Although it is often assumed to …

Studies have emphasised the importance of combustion-derived particles in eliciting
adverse health effects, especially those produced by diesel vehicles. In contrast, few …

This study presents different research techniques linked together to improve our
understanding of the particulate matter (PM) impacts on health. PM samples from the …

Particulate matter (PM) is regulated in various parts of the world based on specific size cut
offs, often expressed as 10 or 2.5 µm mass median aerodynamic diameter. This pollutant is …

Health risks associated with exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) have been shown
epidemiologically as well as experimentally, pointing to both respiratory and cardiovascular …

People living in urban environments are subject to high health risks due to various
anthropogenic sources of airborne particulate matter, including wear of transport vehicle …

Implementation of regulatory standards has reduced exhaust emissions of particulate matter
from road traffic substantially in the developed world. However, nonexhaust particle …

Background Fine particulate matter originating from traffic correlates with increased
morbidity and mortality. An important source of traffic particles is brake wear of cars which …

Traffic-related sources have been recognized as a significant contributor of particulate
matter particularly within major cities. Exhaust and non-exhaust traffic-related sources are …

Particulate air pollution resulting from different sources, among which are those related to
road traffic, has a significant impact on human health. Combustion-derived particles emitted …
