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:

Ultrafine particle air pollution inside diesel-propelled passenger trains☆
TL;DR: The concentrations of UFPs inside the carriages of push-pull trains are dramatically higher when the train operates in pull mode, which clearly shows that locomotive engine emissions are a dominant factor in train passengers' exposure to U FPs.

Comparison of filtration performance of commercially available automotive cabin air filters against various airborne pollutants
Ki Joon Heo,Ki Joon Heo,Jung Woo Noh,Byung Uk Lee,Yeonsang Kim,Jae Hee Jung,Jae Hee Jung,Jae Hee Jung +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, six original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and nine after-market ACAFs were selected and their particulate matter (PM) filtration performance against standard particle (ISO 12103-1 A2 dust), filter pressure drop under various airflow velocities, and gas removal performance with standard test gases (n-butane and toluene) were estimated.

Effects of Microwave-Assisted Opuntia Humifusa Extract in Inhibiting the Impacts of Particulate Matter on Human Keratinocyte Skin Cell
TL;DR: MA-OHE exhibited outstanding antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in eliminating PM’s effects, due to suppression of AhR degradation, ROS production, and COX-2 and MMP-9 expression in HaCaT keratinocytes.

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.
