TL;DR: In this article, the effect of indoor sources on indoor particle concentrations as well as quantification of emission rates from the sources were quantified using house occupants' diary entries, and catalogued into 21 different types of indoor activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the number of particles from vehicle emissions were measured at increasing distances from a major road, ranging from 15 to 375 meters from the road, and the concentration of fine and ultrafine particles decays to around half of the maximum (measured at the closest point to the road) at a distance of approximately 100-150 meters from road.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between indoor and outdoor airborne particles was investigated for 16 residential houses located in a suburban area of Brisbane, Australia, using simultaneous and non-simultaneous measurement methods designed for the purpose of the study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the number and mass of indoor particles and human activity in 15 houses in a residential suburb of Brisbane during winter in 1999, and found that there were clear diurnal variations in both particle number and approximation of PM2.5 concentrations for all the investigated houses.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) and APS (APS) to determine the particle number concentration and size distribution for 11 gasoline powered and 2 liquefied petroleum (LPG) powered passenger vehicles.
