Abstract Ultrafine particles (PM0. 1), which are present in the air in large numbers, pose a
health risk. They generally enter the body through the lungs but translocate to essentially all …

Particulate matter (PM) is the principal component of air pollution. PM includes a range of
particle sizes, such as coarse, fine, and ultrafine particles. Particles that are< 100 nm in …

Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are aerosols with an aerodynamic diameter of 0.1 µm (100 nm) or
less. There is a growing concern in the public health community about the contribution of …

Nanotechnology is involved with the creation and/or manipulation of materials at the
nanometer (nm) scale, and has arisen as a consequence of the novel properties that …

Epidemiological studies continue to indicate associations between exposure to increased
concentrations of ambient fine and ultrafine particles and adverse health effects in …

Background Air pollution constitutes the major threat to human health, whereas their
adverse impacts and underlying mechanisms of different particular matters are not clearly …

FORMER CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR Jerry Brown advocated the mantra that “small is
beautiful.” The paper by Shvedova et al., the current article in focus (Ref. 15, see p. L698 in …

Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are airborne particulates of less than 100 nm in aerodynamic
diameter. Examples of UFPs are diesel exhaust particles, products of cooking, heating, and …

Air pollution is a severe threat to public health globally, affecting everyone in developed and
developing countries alike. Among different air pollutants, particulate matter (PM) …

Ultrafine particles are a component of air pollution, derived from primary combustion
sources, and so we have undertaken a programme of study on the mechanisms of lung …
