TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize data on aerosol physical characteristics, which were obtained in European aerosol research activities at free-troposphere, natural, rural, near-city, urban, and kerbside sites over the past decade.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the potential health benefits of a hypothetical traffic abatement measure, using near-roadway concentration increments of BCP and PM2.5 based on data from prior studies.

TL;DR: The results do not support findings from previous studies that had shown an increase in blood pressure and heart rate in healthy individuals in association with particles, and particle effects might differ in cardiac patients because of medication intake and disease status, both affecting the autonomic control of the heart.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of indoor sources and outdoor air on indoor pollution is discussed, and a model of indoor PM concentrations is presented, illustrating the factors that affect indoor air quality.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the temporal and spatial variation of PNC compared to the mass concentration of particles with diameter less than 10 or 2.5 µm (PM10 and PM2.5) in four cities spread over Europe (Amsterdam, Athens, Birmingham and Helsinki).
