TLDR
In this paper, a volatilisation of materials at the concrete fracture interface is used to detect the formation of ultrafine particles. But the results from this study confirm that mechanical methods can produce UFP from concrete, and that the particles are volatile.About:

Hazardous thoracic and ultrafine particles from road dust in a Caribbean industrial city
Recycling concrete: An undiscovered source of ultrafine particles
Prashant Kumar,Lidia Morawska +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured size-resolved particles in the 5-560 nm range at five distances from a simulated concrete recycling source and found that the size distributions were multimodal, with up to 93% of total PNC in the UFP size range; dilution was a key particle transformation mechanism.

Nanoparticle emissions from 11 non-vehicle exhaust sources - A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented critically synthesised information in a consolidated manner on 11 non-vehicle exhaust sources (i.e., road-tyre interaction, construction and demolition, aircraft, ships, municipal waste incineration, power plants, domestic biomass burning, forest fires, cigarette smoking, cooking, and secondary formation).

High performance concrete—An overview
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that high performance concrete is not fundamentally different from the concrete used in the past, although it usually contains fly ash, ground granulated blastfurnace slag and silica fume, as well as superplasticizer.

Size effect on fracture energy of concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the fracture energy of concrete G F is a fracture mechanics parameter to describe the property of concrete to resist cracking, and the value of G F may be influenced by various factors such as the specimen size, the mix proportion and so on.
