Formation of nascent soot and other condensed-phase materials in flames
TL;DR: A review of the current state of knowledge of the fundamental sooting processes, including the chemistry of soot precursors, particle nucleation and mass/size growth, can be found in this article.

W. J. Gauderman,Rob McConnell,Frank D. Gilliland,Stephanie J. London,Duncan C. Thomas,Edward L. Avol,Hita Vora,Kiros Berhane,Edward B. Rappaport,Fred Lurmann,Helene G. Margolis,John M. Peters +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that significant negative effects on lung function growth in children occur at current ambient concentrations of particles, NO(2), and inorganic acid vapor.

Role of free radicals in the toxicity of airborne fine particulate matter.
Barry Dellinger,William A. Pryor,Rafael Cueto,Giuseppe L. Squadrito,Vijay Hegde,Walter A. Deutsch +5 more
TL;DR: Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), samples of PM2.5 were examined and large quantities of radicals with characteristics similar to semiquinone radicals were found, implicating superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide, and the hydroxyl radical in the reactions inducing DNA damage.

Diesel engines: environmental impact and control.
Alan C. Lloyd,Thomas A. Cackette +1 more
TL;DR: The use of the diesel engine, with its superior fuel consumption, is to continue to benefit society while greatly reducing its negative environmental and health impacts.

An Association between Air Pollution and Mortality in Six U.S. Cities
Douglas W. Dockery,C A Pope rd,X Xu,John D. Spengler,James H. Ware,Martha E. Fay,Benjamin G. Ferris,Frank E. Speizer +7 more
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.

Increased mortality in Philadelphia associated with daily air pollution concentrations.
Joel Schwartz,Douglas W. Dockery +1 more
TL;DR: A significant positive association was found between total mortality and both TSP and both SO2 and the body of evidence showing that particulate pollution is associated with increased daily mortality at current levels in the United States is added.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition of emissions from urban sources of fine organic aerosol
TL;DR: In this paper, a dilution source sampling system was used to collect primary organic aerosol emissions from important sources, including a boiler burning No 2 fuel, a home fireplace, a fleet of catalyst-equipped and non-catalyst automobiles, heavy-duty diesel trucks, natural gas home appliances, and meat cooking operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daily mortality and PM10 pollution in Utah Valley.
TL;DR: The relative risk of death increased monotonically with PM10, and the relationship was observed at PM10 levels that were well below the current National Ambient Air Quality Standard of 150 micrograms/m3.
