Size-segregated carbonaceous aerosols emission from typical vehicles and potential depositions in the human respiratory system

TL;DR: A respiratory deposition model was used to calculate the deposition fluxes of size-segregated carbonaceous aerosols in human respiratory system, and results indicated that the OC produced from LDG mainly existed in the size range of 2.5-10 μm, while EC from HDG enriched in 0.94-2.5 μm, and about 60% of the OC in ultrafine particles could be deposited in the alveoli.

The mortality effect of PM2.5 sources in the Greater Metropolitan Region of Sydney, Australia.

TL;DR: It is shown that eight sources are responsible for more than 60% of exposure to anthropogenic PM2.5 in the Sydney GMR, and interventions that achieve sustained reductions in emissions could provide substantial health benefits, which are likely to far outweigh the costs.

Quantifying health impacts and economic costs of PM2.5 exposure in Mexican cities of the National Urban System

TL;DR: It was observed that reduction in the annual PM2.5 average to 10 μg/ would have prevented 14,666 deaths and 150,771 potential years of life lost in 2015, with estimated costs of 64,164 and 5434 million dollars, respectively.
