Emissions and indoor concentrations of particulate matter and its specific chemical components from cooking: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of existing knowledge of the mass concentrations, size distribution and chemical composition of cooking aerosol generated from typical styles of cooking as reported in the literature is presented, showing that cooking can generate both appreciable masses of aerosol at least within the area where the cooking takes place, that particle sizes are largely within the respirable size range and that major groups of chemical compounds which have been used to characterise cooking aerosols include alkanes, fatty acids, dicarboxylic acids, lactones, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, al

Lidia Morawska,Alireza Afshari,G. N. Bae,Giorgio Buonanno,Giorgio Buonanno,Christopher Y.H. Chao,Otto Hänninen,Werner Hofmann,Christina Isaxon,E.R. Jayaratne,Pertti Pasanen,Tunga Salthammer,Michael S. Waring,Aneta Wierzbicka +13 more
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.

Nature of air pollution, emission sources, and management in the Indian cities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the emission sources and control options for better air quality in Indian cities, with a particular focus on interventions like urban public transportation facilities; travel demand management; emission regulations for power plants; clean technology for brick kilns; management of road dust; and waste management to control open waste burning.

Source apportionment of airborne particulates through receptor modeling: Indian scenario
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of challenging issues and specific recommendations for a scientific apportionment of particulate sources in different geographical regions of India, including methodological weakness, inappropriate sample size, implications of secondary aerosols and inadequate emission inventories.

Indoor Exposure to Selected Air Pollutants in the Home Environment: A Systematic Review
Sotiris Vardoulakis,Evanthia Giagloglou,Susanne Steinle,Alice Davis,Anne Sleeuwenhoek,Karen S. Galea,Ken Dixon,Joanne O. Crawford +7 more
TL;DR: House characteristics and occupant activities play a large role in indoor exposure, particularly cigarette smoking for PM2.5, gas appliances for NO2, and household products for VOCs and PAHs, which can inform interventions aiming to improve IAQ in residential properties in a variety of settings.

Deposition, resuspension, and penetration of particles within a residence
TL;DR: Aerosol concentrations and particle size distributions were measured indoors and outdoors at a two-storey residence in California during the summer months as discussed by the authors, where a single central sampling point in the downstairs living area was used for all indoor samples.

Metal concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 particles and seasonal variations in urban and rural environment of Agra, India
TL;DR: Three factors have been identified using Principal Component Analysis at the sampling sites comprising res Suspension of road dust due to vehicular activities, solid waste incineration, and industrial emission at urban site whereas resuspension of soil dust dueto vehicular emission, construction activities and wind blown dust carrying industrial emission, were common sources at rural site.

TL;DR: In this article, hourly average concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 have been measured simultaneously at a site within Birmingham U.K. between October 1994 and October 1995, showing a marked difference between summer and winter periods.
