Journal ArticleDOI
Biomarkers as indicators of fungal biomass in the atmosphere of Sao Paulo, Brazil
Ana Paula Mendes Emygdio,Maria de Fátima Andrade,Fábio Luiz Teixeira Gonçalves,Guenter Engling,Rafael Henrique de Souza Zanetti,Prashant Kumar +5 more
TL;DR: The results show the mean contributions of fungal aerosol to PM10 and OC mass were 2% and 8%, respectively, indicating the importance ofFungal spores to the aerosol burden in the urban atmosphere, yet not considered in most studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of lifestyle on airborne particle surface area doses received by different Western populations.
Antonio Pacitto,Luca Stabile,Teresa Moreno,Prashant Kumar,Aneta Wierzbicka,Lidia Morawska,Giorgio Buonanno,Giorgio Buonanno +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated and compared the daily dose in terms of particle surface area received by citizens living in five cities in Western countries, characterized by different lifestyle, culture, climate and built-up environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of factors surrounding the air pollution exposure to in-pram babies and mitigation strategies.
Ashish Sharma,Prashant Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: A holistic approach involving a mix of innovative technological solutions, community empowerment and exposure-centric policies are needed to help limit personal exposure of in-pram babies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nexus between in-car aerosol concentrations, ventilation and the risk of respiratory infection.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the trade-offs between in-car aerosol concentrations, ventilation and respiratory infection transmission under three ventilation settings: windows open (WO), windows closed with air-conditioning on ambient air mode (WC-AA), and windows closed closed with AC on recirculation (WCRC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of diverse air pollution sources in a complex urban area of Croatia
TL;DR: The CBPF receptor model emerged as a reliable complementary tool for the identification of sources for considered gaseous pollutants that are less represented in the source apportionment studies and can be used for future scientific applications to assure more efficient air quality management.
