Ultrafine particles in ambient air of an urban area: dose implications for elderly.
Due to their detrimental effects on human health, the scientific interest in ultrafine particles (UFP) has been increasing, but available information is far from comprehensive. Compared to the remaining population, the elderly are potentially highly susceptible to the effects of outdoor air pollution. Thus, this study aimed to (1) determine the levels of outdoor pollutants in an urban area with...
متن کاملPedestrians in Traffic Environments: Ultrafine Particle Respiratory Doses
Particulate matter has recently received more attention than other pollutants. PM10 and PM2.5 have been primarily monitored, whereas scientists are focusing their studies on finer granulometric sizes due both to their high number concentration and their high penetration efficiency into the respiratory system. The purpose of this study is to investigate the population exposure to UltraFine Parti...
متن کاملEstimating Urban Ultrafine Particle Distributions with Gaussian Process Models
Urban air pollution have a direct impact on public health. Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are ubiquitous in urban environments, but their distribution are highly variable. In this paper, we take data from mobile deployments in Zürich collected over one year with over 25 million measurements to build a high-resolution map estimating the UFP distribution. More specifically, we propose a new approach ...
متن کاملA comparison of strategies for estimation of ultrafine particle number concentrations in urban air pollution monitoring networks.
We propose three estimation strategies (local, remote and mixed) for ultrafine particles (UFP) at three sites in an urban air pollution monitoring network. Estimates are obtained through Gaussian process regression based on concentrations of gaseous pollutants (NOx, O3, CO) and UFP. As local strategy, we use local measurements of gaseous pollutants (local covariates) to estimate UFP at the same...
متن کاملInstillation of Six Different Ultrafine Carbon Particles Indicates a Surface Area Threshold Dose for Acute Lung Inflammation in Mice
Increased levels of particulate air pollution are associated with increased respiratory and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Some epidemiologic and toxicologic research suggests ultrafine particles (UFPs) (< 100 nm) to be more harmful per unit mass than larger particles. Our study was aimed at a quantitative comparison of acute adverse effects of different types of carbonaceous UFPs at a...
