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.

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.

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.

Hospital indoor PM10/PM2.5 and associated trace elements in Guangzhou, China.
TL;DR: The results showed that outdoor infiltration could lead to direct transportation into indoors, in addition to outdoor infiltration, human activities and ventilation types could also influence indoor particulate levels in four hospitals, suggesting that indoor elements originated mainly from outdoor emission sources.

Bioaerosol characteristics in hospital clean rooms.
Chih-Shan Li,Po-An Hou +1 more
TL;DR: It was indicated that bacterial levels were higher than fungal ones, which might be related to human sources, and there were weak relationships among class level, particle concentration and bioaerosol levels.

A pilot investigation into associations between indoor airborne fungal and non-biological particle concentrations in residential houses in Brisbane, Australia
Megan Hargreaves,Sandhya Parappukkaran,Lidia Morawska,Jane Hitchins,Congrong He,Dale Gilbert +5 more
TL;DR: Examination of associations between the concentration levels of airborne particles and fungi measured in 14 residential suburban houses in Brisbane showed that the fungal spore concentrations were related directly to the distance from the source, in a very similar way in which the submicrometre particles originating from vehicle emissions from a road, were dependent on the distance to the road.

Size and composition of particulate emissions from motor vehicles in the Kaisermühlen-Tunnel, Vienna
TL;DR: In this paper, the size segregated emissions of particle-phase species from on-road motor vehicles were investigated in the Kaisermuhlen Tunnel (Vienna, Austria) during April and May 2005.

Health effects of daily airborne particle dose in children: direct association between personal dose and respiratory health effects.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed continuous exposure monitoring to estimate alveolar and tracheobronchial dose, measured as deposited surface area, for 103 children and evaluated the long-term effects of exposure to airborne particles through spirometry, skin prick tests and measurement of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO).
