TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and synthesized the existing knowledge on ultrafine particles in the air with a specific focus on those originating due to vehicles emissions and focused on secondary particle formation in urban environments resulting from semi volatile precursors emitted by the vehicles.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the concept of voluntary within-country migration as an adaptation strategy to reduce disaster risk in Australia and concluded that relocation is a strategy available to some as part of an extensive range of responses to extreme weather events but undertaking unsupported resettlement is not always an option for reasons of family commitment, livelihood opportunities, financial constraints and emotional ties.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of climate adaptation of an Australian town that is subject to frequent flooding is presented, and the study aimed to gain an understanding of the vulnerability, resilience and adaptive capacity of this community by studying the 2008 flood event.

TL;DR: In this article, a large body of data on particle size distributions in a range of environments in South East Queensland, Australia, was analyzed, with an aim of identifying the relation between modality in the distributions and sources of particles belonging to different modes.

TL;DR: It was found that heavy duty vehicles in the study region were major emitters of particulate matter pollution, and although they contributed only around 6% of total regional vehicle kilometres travelled, they contributed more than 50% of the region's particle number (ultrafine particles) and PM"1 emissions.
