TLDR
Indoor levels of these traffic-sourced pollutants are very similar to those detected outdoors, indicating easy penetration of atmospheric pollutants, and outdoor NO2, EBC, UFP, and antimony appear to be good indicators of traffic emissions.

Changes in air quality during the lockdown in Barcelona (Spain) one month into the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.

TL;DR: After two weeks of lockdown, urban air pollution markedly decreased but with substantial differences among pollutants, and there are still open questions on why PM10 levels were much less reduced than BC and NO2 and on what is the proportion of the abatement of pollution directly related to the lockdown, without meteorological interferences.

Potential of solar energy in developing countries for reducing energy-related emissions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the sources of energy-related emissions, risks of climate change, global solar energy potential, sustainability indicators of renewable energies, environmental impacts of fossil fuels and renewable energies and benefits of solar energy utilization.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution

TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.

An Association between Air Pollution and Mortality in Six U.S. Cities

TL;DR: It is suggested that fine-particulate air pollution, or a more complex pollution mixture associated with fine particulate matter, contributes to excess mortality in certain U.S. cities.

Translocation of Inhaled Ultrafine Particles to the Brain

TL;DR: The study concludes that the central nervous system (CNS) can be targeted by airborne solid ultrafine particles and that the most likely mechanism is from deposits on the olfactory mucosa of the nasopharyngeal region of the respiratory tract and subsequent translocation via the Olfactory nerve.

Species contributions to PM2.5 mass concentrations: Revisiting common assumptions for estimating organic mass

TL;DR: The authors revisited common assumptions for estimating PM2.5 mass concentration and found that these assumptions can be used to estimate organic mass in a wide range of scenarios, such as PM1.5.

Elemental Carbon-Based Method for Monitoring Occupational Exposures to Particulate Diesel Exhaust

TL;DR: In this article, a thermal-optical technique for analysis of the carbonaceous fraction of particulate diesel exhaust is reported, and the speciation of organic and elemental carbon is accomplished through temperature and atmosphere control, and by an optical feature that corrects for pyrolytically generated carbon.
