Ultrafine particles (UFPs; diameter less than 100 nm) are ubiquitous in urban air, and an
acknowledged risk to human health. Globally, the major source for urban outdoor UFP …

Abstract The World Health Organization estimates 3.7 million deaths in 2012 in low-and
middle-income Asian countries due to outdoor air pollution. However, these estimates do not …

Air pollution affects billions of people worldwide, yet ambient pollution measurements are
limited for much of the world. Urban air pollution concentrations vary sharply over short …

Background: Approximately 2.8 billion people cook with solid fuels. Research has focused
on the health impacts of indoor exposure to fine particulate pollution. Here, for the 2010 …

We evaluated personal exposure of 62 individuals to the air pollutant Black Carbon, using
13 portable aethalometers while kee** detailed records of their time-activity pattern and …

In Delhi, between 2008 and 2011, at seven monitoring stations, the daily average of
particulates with diameter< 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) was 123±87 μg m− 3 and particulates with …

In Delhi and its satellite cities, vehicle exhaust, industries, waste burning, and construction
activities account for the bulk of the particulate (PM) pollution, which between 2008 and …

Delhi's annual average PM2. 5 concentration in 2021–22 was 100 μg/m3—20 times more
than the WHO guideline of 5 μg/m3. This is an improvement compared to the limited …

Land Use Regression (LUR) models typically use fixed-site monitoring; here, we employ
mobile monitoring as a cost-effective alternative for LUR development. We use bicycle …

Air pollution in China and other parts of Asia poses large health risks and is an important
contributor to global climate change. Almost half of Chinese homes use biomass and coal …
