TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed existing literature to identify state-of-the-art experimental techniques used for personal exposure assessment; compare exposure levels reported for domestic/school settings in different countries, assess the contribution of outdoor background vs indoor sources to personal exposure; and examine scientific understanding of the risks posed by personal exposure to indoor aerosols.

Trace metal concentrations and water solubility in size-fractionated atmospheric particles and influence of road traffic
TL;DR: In this paper, the abundance and the behavior of metals (Al, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Ag, Cd, Sn, Ba, Pt, Hg, and Pb) and ions (Na+ K+ Mg2+ Ca2+, NH4+, Cl-, NO3-, SO4(2-), PO4(3-), and oxalate) in size-fractionated atmospheric particulate matter (PM) were studied in the U. K. and Ireland at four observation sites simulating

Acute respiratory effects of particulate air pollution
Douglas W. Dockery,C. A. Pope +1 more
TL;DR: In the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, several episodes of extreme air pollution focused attention on the potential for adverse health effects of air pollution, and the increased mortality associated with such episodes provided the first quantitative measure of the adverse effects ofAir pollution.

Is Daily Mortality Associated Specifically with Fine Particles
TL;DR: The data suggest that increased daily mortality is specifically associated with particle mass constituents found in the aerodynamic diameter size range under 2.5 urn, that is, with combustion-related particles.

Association of fine particulate matter from different sources with daily mortality in six U.S. cities.
TL;DR: Results indicate that combustion particles in the fine fraction from mobile and coal combustion sources, but not fine crustal particles, are associated with increased mortality.

Advances in evaluating the oral bioavailability of inorganics in soil for use in human health risk assessment
Michael V. Ruby,R. Schoof,W. Brattin,M. Goldade,Gloria B. Post,M. Harnois,D. E. Mosby,S. W. Casteel,W. Berti,M. Carpenter,D. Edwards,D. Cragin,W. Chappell +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a risk assessment for sites affected by inorganic contaminants based on the estimated oral toxicity of the substances of concern, which are typically based on historical studies in which a soluble salt of the metal was dissolved in water or mixed in food and then ingested by an animal or human.
