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 concentration inside vehicles: Models for exposure assessment
TL;DR: In the unlikely event that the author did not send a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted and a note will indicate the deletion.

Comparison of the service life of an automotive cabin air filter under dust loading conditions of the laboratory environment and on-road driving
TL;DR: In this article , changes in the performance of ACAFs were analyzed according to operating time under laboratory and on-road driving dust loading conditions, and the results indicated that dust loading is not sufficient to characterize the service life of an ACAF.

Exposures of Ultrafine Particles for Passengers of Elephant Vehicle in the Seoul Grand Park
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured passengers' exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) and determined effects of fuel, operating condition and position of seat on UFP exposure in front and back seats of the Elephant vehicle in Seoul Grand Park.
H15-3: Number concentration, distribution and transformation of nanoparticles in and outside a car cabin
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the spatial distribution of particle number concentrations (PNCs) and distributions (PNDs) in and outside a car cabin during driving and investigated possible influences of particle transformation processes on PNC and PNDs in the car cabin.

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.
