Utility of outdoor central site monitoring in assessing exposure of school children to ultrafine particles

Basant Pradhan et al.

Summary: Epidemiological studies often use a single monitoring site in urban areas to investigate the association between particle exposure and health effects. However, for ultrafine particles (PNC), the central site cannot consistently represent personal exposure, as they are affected by different sources.

Effects of cooking and window opening behaviors on indoor ultrafine particle concentrations in urban residences: A field study in Yangtze River Delta region of China

Zhiwei Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that outdoor air temperature is a key factor influencing occupants' window-opening behaviors in residences, with most preferring to use range hood accompanied by opening kitchen window for ventilation. Indoor UFP concentrations were significantly higher in winter compared to summer and transition season, correlating with cooking activities.

Lab-on-printed circuit board based water harvesting condensation particle counter for ubiquitous monitoring of airborne ultrafine particles

Seong-Jae Yoo et al.

Summary: We have developed a water harvesting condensation particle counter (WHCPC) using lab-on-printed circuit board (PCB) technology. Our method provides an inexpensive, compact, and highly accurate system for the ubiquitous monitoring of airborne ultrafine particles (UFPs). The proposed system is able to monitor harmless UFPs using water as the working fluid, without the need for water replenishment using a moderated water condensation method.

Perspectives for regulating 10 nm particle number emissions based on novel measurement methodologies

Z. Samaras et al.

Summary: This paper presents the results of three EU-funded projects that have successfully developed measurement devices for sub-23 nm particles and validated their feasibility. The research shows that sub-23 nm particles are mainly generated during engine start and acceleration phases. The innovations demonstrate the maturity and stability of the technology for regulation of sub-23 nm particles.

Differentiating Semi-Volatile and Solid Particle Events Using Low-Cost Lung-Deposited Surface Area and Black Carbon Sensors

Molly J. Haugen et al.

Summary: This study conducted a 3-month long field test using low-cost particle sensors in an urban background environment and developed a low-cost method to assess the fraction of solid and semi-volatile particles in aerosol samples. The results showed a wide variation in the semi-volatile fraction of particles, and the measurements from low-cost sensors were comparable to high-cost analyses.

Evaluating uncertainty in sensor networks for urban air pollution insights

Daniel R. Peters et al.

Summary: Ambient air pollution is a significant global public health risk, and the use of lower-cost air quality sensors can help understand local pollution issues, although measurement uncertainty may be a barrier. This study deployed 100 stationary NO2 LCSs in Greater London for 2 years, evaluating sensor performance and revealing occasional poor performance and high bias in the summer months through comparisons with reference instruments.

Evaluation of Solid Particle Number Sensors for Periodic Technical Inspection of Passenger Cars

Anastasios Melas et al.

Summary: With the increase in European regulations on automotive emissions, the mass scale in-use vehicle testing has become crucial for improving air quality. Diesel and gasoline particulate filters have significantly reduced solid particle number emissions, but the potential damage or tampering of these filters remains a concern. The feasibility of utilizing on-board monitoring, remote sensing, and periodic technical inspections to detect malfunctioning or tampered filters is being explored.
