TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial concentration distribution and temporal evolution of exhaled and sneezed/coughed droplets within the range of 1.0 − 10.0μm in an office room with three air distribution methods, specifically mixing ventilation (MV), displacement ventilation (DV), and under-floor air distribution (UFAD).

TL;DR: The effect of filtration and ventilation on reduction of submicrometer particle concentration indoors was investigated in an office building, and a simple mathematical model predicting evolution of particles indoors is presented.

TL;DR: UFPs do not affect respiratory health outcomes in children but do have systemic effects, detected here in the form of a positive association with a biomarker for systemic inflammation, consistent with the known propensity of UFPs to penetrate deep into the lung and circulatory system.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of room ventilation on influenza, tuberculosis, and rhinovirus infection risk within three distinct rooms in a major urban hospital: a lung function laboratory, an emergency department negative-pressure isolation room, and an outpatient consultation room.

TL;DR: In this article, a monitoring study designed to evaluate workers' exposure to particles in several body shops within automotive plants was presented, where concentrations in the proximity of welding activities were measured by Fast Mobility Particle Sizer, several Condensation Particle Counters, a Nanoparticle Surface Area Monitor and a laser photometer, as well as by several gravimetric samplers.
