Abstract: Particulate matter is a huge contributor to indoor and outdoor air pollution and a significant factor in many major diseases. Those living in cities, and especially those working in traffic or living near roads, have substantially increased risk of several diseases, especially autoimmune, cardiovascular, respiratory, and neoplastic. Intervention is primarily based on reducing exposure and using appropriately sophisticated air cleaning systems.
