The health effects of ultrafine particles
DE Schraufnagel - Experimental & molecular medicine, 2020 - nature.com
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 …
