TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified school children's daily personal exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) using real-time monitoring, as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and NO2 using passive sampling in rural Bhutan in order to determine the factors driving the exposures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an Australian epidemiological study to assess the health effects of ultrafine particles on children's health in general and peripheral airways in particular, and evaluated the respiratory health effects by conducting the following tests on participating children at each school: spirometry, forced oscillation technique (FOT), multiple breath nitrogen washout test (MBNW), fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), blood cotinine levels (to assess exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke), and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.

TL;DR: In this article, pilot cross-sectional investigations of ambient submicrometer particles were conducted in five locations in the region of Salzburg, Austria, and the results showed that particle size distributions in the urban roadside environment were characterised by three peaks at approximately 0.04, 0.07 and 0.16 µm, the relative height varying for different days.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the correlation between endotoxin levels in indoor air and settled dust, as well as the effects of temperature and humidity on these levels in subtropical school settings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized the emission characteristics of different biomass stoves in four rural houses in Bhutan during heating (metal chimney stove), rice cooking (traditional mud stove), fodder preparation (stone tripod stove) and liquor distillation (traditional mule stove).
