Impact of PM2.5 in indoor urban environments: A review
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the impact of PM2.5 in indoor urban environments summarizes existing research in this area, specifically, the main sources and sinks in outdoor and indoor environments, the exposure limits that are currently applicable throughout the world, and the main socioeconomic impacts of exposure to PM 2.5.

Characteristics of public concern on haze in China and its relationship with air quality in urban areas
TL;DR: This study will help policy makers to better understand the patterns of the public's perception of environmental problems and consequently improve the government's capability to deal with these challenges.

Effect of ventilation strategies and air purifiers on the children's exposure to airborne particles and gaseous pollutants in school gyms.
Antonio Pacitto,Fulvio Amato,Teresa Moreno,Marco Pandolfi,Ana C. Fonseca,Mandana Mazaheri,Luca Stabile,Giorgio Buonanno,Xavier Querol +8 more
TL;DR: The study revealed that the use of air purifiers with windows kept closed (natural ventilation) can lead to a significant reduction in terms of indoor-to-outdoor concentration ratios, and for low ACH values, the reduction is quite negligible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indoor PM2.5 concentrations in residential buildings during a severely polluted winter: A case study in Tianjin, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effects of infiltration and indoor pollution on the level of PM2.5 in residential buildings, using a DustTrak II aerosol monitor, measuring in a typical residential building in Tianjin with different openings to the external environment.

Sibel Mentese,Nihal Arzu Mirici,Müşerref Tatman Otkun,Coşkun Bakar,Elif Palaz,Deniz Tasdibi,Sibel Cevizci,Osman Cotuker +7 more
TL;DR: Negative associations between asthma and FEV1/FVC ratio, and between respiratory symptom score (RSS) and FEVs, support the idea that the PF test can be a good indicator for (early) prognosis of respiratory diseases.

Deposition, resuspension, and penetration of particles within a residence
TL;DR: Aerosol concentrations and particle size distributions were measured indoors and outdoors at a two-storey residence in California during the summer months as discussed by the authors, where a single central sampling point in the downstairs living area was used for all indoor samples.

Inhalable Microorganisms in Beijing’s PM2.5 and PM10 Pollutants during a Severe Smog Event
Chen Cao,Wenjun Jiang,Buying Wang,Jianhuo Fang,Jidong Lang,Geng Tian,Jingkun Jiang,Ting F. Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that with sufficient sequencing depth, airborne microbes including bacteria, archaea, fungi, and dsDNA viruses can be identified at the species level and suggested that the majority of the inhalable microorganisms were soil-associated and nonpathogenic to human.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using time- and size-resolved particulate data to quantify indoor penetration and deposition behavior.
TL;DR: The data show that the penetration efficiency depends on particle size as well as home characteristics, which provides new insight on the protective role of the building shell in reducing indoor exposures to ambient particles, especially for tighter homes and for particles with diameters greater than 1 micron.

Fine particles are more strongly associated than coarse particles with acute respiratory health effects in schoolchildren.
Joel Schwartz,Lucas M. Neas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative contributions of fine and coarse particles on respiratory symptoms and peak expiratory flow in schoolchildren were examined. But, the authors concluded that fine particles, especially fine sulfate particles, have much stronger acute respiratory effects than coarse particles.
