PM2.5 and Trace Elements in Underground Shopping Districts in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, Korea

Soo Ran Won et al.

Summary: The study found that soil dust is the main source of PM2.5 in underground shopping districts in the Seoul metropolitan area, with vehicle exhaust/cooking contributing more when entrances are closed and coal combustion contributing more when entrances are open.

Toxic metals in outdoor/indoor airborne PM2.5 in port city of Northern, China: Characteristics, sources, and personal exposure risk assessment

Bo Fang et al.

Summary: In Caofeidian, China, outdoor and indoor PM2.5 samples were collected and analyzed for 15 elements to investigate the characteristics, sources, and health risks of PM2.5-bound metals. The study identified industry sources contributing the most to the PM2.5-bound metal sources, with most indoor metals originating from outdoor emission sources. Both adults and children were found to suffer carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks from the PM2.5-bound metals in Caofeidian, suggesting the need for emission control measures.

Real-time indoor PM2.5 monitoring in an urban cohort: Implications for exposure disparities and source control

MyDzung T. Chu et al.

Summary: Indoor concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are highly variable, with different sources such as cooking and smoking playing a major role in contributing to elevated PM2.5 levels indoors. Renters in multifamily housing are more likely to be exposed to higher PM2.5 levels from non-ambient sources, such as cooking and smoking, compared to homeowners in single and multifamily housing. These disparities in PM2.5 exposure by homeownership can be explained by a combination of behavioral and building factors.

Contamination and Potential Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Heavy Metals in House Settled Dust Collected from Residences of Young Children

A. Stamatelopoulou et al.

Summary: House settled dust (HSD) contains PAHs and metals, mainly from smoking inside the houses, combustion processes, resuspension of soil dust, and vehicle traffic. Children are exposed to these hazardous materials mainly through ingestion of house dust. The carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic risks of exposure for children are within safety limits.

The difference in the boundary layer height between urban and suburban areas in Beijing and its implications for air pollution

Meng Wang et al.

Summary: Observations of boundary layer height in urban and suburban areas of Beijing showed similar average BLH but significant diurnal differences. Rapid urbanization, surface changes, and anthropogenic heat emissions were found to be the main reasons for urban and suburban boundary layer variations. Insufficient boundary layer development in the suburbs at noon led to pollutant accumulation, causing heavy pollution in clean, low-emission areas.
