TL;DR: In this article , the authors estimated the prevalence of solid-fuel use with high spatial resolution to explore subnational inequalities, assess local progress, and assess the effects on health in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) without universal access to clean fuels.

TL;DR: In this article, a methodology for measuring the surface charge density on printed paper and the ion and charged particle emissions during operation of a high-emitting laser printer is described, and the emission rates of ultrafine particles, ions and charged particles may be quantified using a controlled experiment within a closed chamber.

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology for measuring the surface charge density on printed paper and the ion and charged particle emissions during operation of a high-emitting laser printer is described, and the emission rates of ultrafine particles, ions and charged particles may be quantified using a controlled experiment within a closed chamber.
Abstract: While the emission rate of ultrafine particles has been measured and quantified, there is very little information on the emission rates of ions and charged particles from laser printers. This paper describes a methodology that can be adopted for measuring the surface charge density on printed paper and the ion and charged particle emissions during operation of a high-emitting laser printer and shows how emission rates of ultrafine particles, ions and charged particles may be quantified using a controlled experiment within a closed chamber.

Abstract: Particle number, NOx and CO concentrations were measured simultaneously at the air entry portal and at the mid-point of a 511m bi-directional road tunnel, used entirely by urban public transport buses. The aim of this study was to provide information on concentrations of these pollutants inside a unique bus tunnel, and to develop a viable methodology for determining emission factors for on-road vehicles. Measurements were made continuously over a period of five days that included a complete weekend. Traffic flow rate and air flow rate were also monitored. The mean particle number concentration at mid-tunnel was 4.1 x 104 cm-3, which was over four times higher than the urban background concentration. The mean concentrations of NOx and CO at mid-tunnel were 464 ppb and 802 ppb, respectively. All these values were between 2 and 4 times higher than at the air entry portal. Median concentrations during selected time segments coinciding with the morning and evening rush hours, mid-day during weekdays and full day during the weekends were determined and the corresponding bus emission factors of each of the three parameters was calculated. Mean emission factors found for particle number, NOx and CO were 7.1 x 1014 particles km-1, 8.1 g km-1 and 15.9 g km-1, respectively. These values compared well with previous studies, showing that the methodology adopted was sound and viable.
