TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured real-time particle number concentration (PNC; mostly in the UFP range) and particle diameter (PD), heart and respiratory rate, geographical location, and meteorological variables were measured.

TL;DR: Alveolar macrophages are recruited to the airways of subjects with asthma with repeated short-term exposures to O3, suggesting a possible role for these cells in the chronic response to oxidant-induced injury.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential to lower exposure to ultrafine particles during bicycle commuting by reducing proximity to motorised traffic was investigated with real-time air pollution and intermittent acute inflammatory measurements in healthy individuals using their typical higher proximity, and an alternative lower proximity, bicycle commute route.

TL;DR: The results suggest that, in most asthmatic individuals, multihour exposure to a high ambient concentration of NO2 does not enhance the inflammatory response to subsequent inhaled allergen as assessed by cell distribution in induced sputum.

TL;DR: In this paper, a unique burner system was designed for the purposes of exposing human subjects to rice straw smoke under highly controlled conditions, and the system produced particle concentrations up to 900 w g m m 3 in a temperature and humidity-controlled exposure chamber.
