Human Exposure Studies of Airborne Particles From Common Sources

Year: 2014

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Several epidemiological studies show correlation between exposure to airborne particles and adverse health effects. Exposure measures used are often based only on mass concentration of particles with sizes below certain limits (PM10, PM2.5, PM1, i.e. particulate matter with diameters less than 10, 2.5 and 1 μm, respectively) regardless the shape, morphology and chemical composition of the particles. There is a need for information based on precise experimental methods in order to increase our understanding on the mechanisms behind the adverse effects and to determine the exact nature of exposures which can cause the adverse effects.
