Zusammenfassung

Epidemiological research has shown evidence of ambient concentrations of particulate matter (PM) on various health outcomes. PM in ambient air is a complex mixture containing particles of different size fractions and chemical compositions. The adverse health impacts due to particle exposure are currently attributed to the mass concentration or the chemical composition of particles smaller than 10 µm (PM10) or 2.5 µm (PM2.5) in diameter. Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are the smallest size fraction in the continuum of airborne particles ranging from nanometers to less than 100nm in diameter. Concerns about the possib…
