Mimicking this system, the researchers coated air filters with a thin film of oil between 200 to 500 nanometers thick. This ...

The smaller particles could in fact be more harmful as they can get through the body's natural defenses and cause significant health problems.

If you're seeing a thick haze outside your window, it's likely air pollution. Here's how to find out what the air quality is near you.

What’s next The next step in this project is to expose lung cells in the lab to the air pollution particles from the 15th Street Station and measure the oxidative stress caused by the particles.

How High-Quality Filters Help Capture Unwanted Particles, Contributing to Cleaner Air and a Healthier Home ‏‏‎ ‎ Omar Sommereyns; Mediaplanet ...

A pioneering method to simulate how microscopic particles move through the air could boost efforts to combat air pollution, a study suggests.

The particles eminating from burning scented wax melts indoors can create a “tremendous amount” of indoor air pollution — similar to pollution caused by diesel engines.

The particles also may contribute to chronic pulmonary inflammation, which can increase the risk of lung cancer. “These microplastics are basically particulate matter air pollution, and we know this ...

What’s next The next step in this project is to expose lung cells in the lab to the air pollution particles from the 15th Street Station and measure the oxidative stress caused by the particles.

Tiny Airborne Particles Within Air Pollution Could Be a Silent Killer Ultrafine particles stem from a variety of natural and human-made sources, including vehicle exhaust.

The U.S. Air Quality Index recommends that those who are unusually sensitive to airborne particles limit their time outdoors.
