Indoor aerosols: from personal exposure to risk assessment

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.

Respiratory health effects of diesel particulate matter.

TL;DR: This review shows that the DPM surface area and adsorbed organic compounds play a significant role in manifesting chemical and cellular processes that if sustained can lead to the development of adverse respiratory health effects.

Respiratory health effects of diesel particulate matter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the physico-chemical properties of diesel particulate matter (DPM), and identified the constituents of this pollution source that are responsible for the development of respiratory disease.
