TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out mobile measurements in a car for size-resolved particle number concentrations (PNCs) in the 5-560 nm range under five different ventilation settings on a 6 km long busy round route with 10 intersections.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors looked at the ability of natural ventilation to provide adequate thermal comfort, resilience against heatwaves, and good indoor air quality in warm climates and found that single-sided ventilation demonstrates the poorest ability to provide thermal comfort while cross ventilation highlights better performance in terms of reducing indoor air temperatures compared to outdoor.

TL;DR: The sources, emissions, transformations and broad effects of meteorology on air pollution are reasonably well accounted in air quality control strategies in many developed cities; however these key factors remain poorly constrained in the growing cities of countries with emerging economies.

TL;DR: The fine particles showed a strong positive exponential correlation with the air exchange rates under different ventilation settings compared with coarse particles showing an opposite trend, suggesting that the ventilation system of the car was relatively more efficient in removing coarse particles from the incoming outside air.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a co-creation based citizen science approach which incorporates the ideas of inclusion, where citizens are involved in most of the steps of the scientific process; collaboration, where the citizen scientists define research problems and methodologies, and reciprocation, where citizen scientists share their observations through storytelling.
