TLDR
In this article, a review of in-transit UFP exposure studies performed to date, including studies of health effects, is presented, which indicates that a large proportion of daily exposure may occur during commuting and the determinants, variability and transport mode-dependence of such exposure are not wellunderstood.About:

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between traffic composition and both the physical characteristics and oxidative potential of particles in a 4.5 km road tunnel in Brisbane, Australia and found that the levels of pollutants and ROS were generally better correlated with total traffic count, rather than the traffic composition.

TL;DR: A correlation between fuel S content and nucleation mode particle number concentration which have more harmful impact on human health than larger particles is found, which is associated with the lower energy content in the fuel blends compared to diesel fuel.

A comparison of personal exposure to air pollutants in different travel modes on national highways in India
TL;DR: Examination of the contribution of different travel modes to passengers' pollutant exposure for a long distance travel on a national highway in India found that travelling by car results in the lowest PM2.5 exposures, although it exposes the passenger to high CO level.

A Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Simulation of PM10 Dispersion Caused by Rail Transit Construction Activity: A Real Urban Street Canyon Model
TL;DR: It is shown that the dispersion of PM10 is strongly associated with wind direction in and the height ratios of the street canyons, and certain measures could be taken to prevent the impact on people in terms of the PM10 concentration and the heights of streetCanyons identified in this research.

TL;DR: The number of people exposed to environmental tobacco smoke in California seems to have decreased over the same time period, where exposure is determined by the reported time spent with a smoker.

Engines and nanoparticles: a review
TL;DR: In this article, a new HEI study showed that some low-emission diesel engines emit much higher concentrations of nanoparticles than older designs and other low-EMission designs, which has raised questions about whether nanoparticle (number based) emission standards should be imposed.

TL;DR: The studies demonstrate that the increased biological potency of UFPs is related to the content of redox cycling organic chemicals and their ability to damage mitochondria.

Air Pollution-Related Illness: Effects of Particles
TL;DR: In this article, Nel describes how the adverse effects of ultrafine air particles are linked to their ability to gain access to the lung and systemic circulation, where toxic components lead to tissue damage and inflammation.
