TLDR
It was evident that the contribution of the Cooking & Eating microenvironment to the total exposure was only 8%-14% for low- and middle-income populations, while significant contributions were estimated for Outdoor day and Transport microenvironments and the Sleeping & Resting microenvironment.About:

Personal exposure to ultrafine particles : the influence of time-activity patterns
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the time-activity patterns on UFP personal exposure are reported, in particular, 24 non-smoking couples (12 during winter and summer time, respectively), comprised of a man who worked full-time and a woman who was a homemaker, were analyzed using personal particle counter and GPS monitors.

Ventilation procedures to minimize the airborne transmission of viruses in classrooms
TL;DR: In this paper, a mass balance approach is used to quantify the ability of both mechanical ventilation and ad-hoc airing procedures to mitigate airborne transmission risk in the classroom environment, and a feedback control strategy using CO2 concentrations to continuously monitor and adjust the airing procedure is proposed.

Effects of air pollution on health: A mapping review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses
Fábio Hech Dominski,Joaquim Henrique Lorenzetti Branco,Giorgio Buonanno,Luca Stabile,Manuel Gameiro da Silva,Alexandro Andrade +5 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the state of the art on the effects of air pollution on human health through a mapping review of existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRs and MAs).
Ultrafine particles in cities

Air Pollution, Ultrafine Particles, and Your Brain: Are Combustion Nanoparticle Emissions and Engineered Nanoparticles Causing Preventable Fatal Neurodegenerative Diseases and Common Neuropsychiatric Outcomes?
TL;DR: There is a growing body of evidence suggesting ultrafine particles may play a bigger role inflicting adverse health impacts than has been recognized, and the precautionary principle should call for policy interventions to abate or eliminate UFP emissions and to mitigate UFP exposures.

Updated world map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification
TL;DR: In this paper, a new global map of climate using the Koppen-Geiger system based on a large global data set of long-term monthly precipitation and temperature station time series is presented.

Use of Ranks in One-Criterion Variance Analysis
William Kruskal,W. Allen Wallis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a test of the hypothesis that the samples are from the same population may be made by ranking the observations from from 1 to Σn i (giving each observation in a group of ties the mean of the ranks tied for), finding the C sums of ranks, and computing a statistic H. Under the stated hypothesis, H is distributed approximately as χ2(C − 1), unless the samples were too small, in which case special approximations or exact tables are provided.

Solid fuel use for household cooking: country and regional estimates for 1980-2010.
Sophie Bonjour,Heather Adair-Rohani,Jennyfer Wolf,Nigel Bruce,Sumi Mehta,Annette Prüss-Ustün,Maureen Lahiff,Eva Rehfuess,Vinod Mishra,Kirk R. Smith +9 more
TL;DR: Worldwide, the proportion of households cooking mainly with solid fuels is decreasing and the absolute number of persons using solid fuels, however, has remained steady globally and is increasing in some regions.

Instillation of six different ultrafine carbon particles indicates a surface area threshold dose for acute lung inflammation in mice.
Tobias Stoeger,Claudia Reinhard,Shinji Takenaka,Andreas Schroeppel,Erwin Karg,Baerbel Ritter,Joachim Heyder,Holger Schulz +7 more
TL;DR: The study suggests that the surface area measurement developed by Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller is a valuable reference unit for the assessment of causative health effects for carbonaceous UFPs and demonstrated the existence of a threshold for the particle surface area at an instilled dose of approximately 20 cm2, below which no acute proinflammatory responses could be detected in mice.
