Germany Publishes Study on Health Effects of Ultrafine Particles
The German Environment Agency (UBA) in October 2018 published a study entitled Health Effects of Ultrafine Particles: Systematic literature search and the potential transferability of the results to the German setting. The study notes that ultrafine particles represent the smallest size fractions of particles with sizes from one to about 100 nanometers in aerodynamic diameter. Their specific health effects are thus related to their physical capacity to reach diverse organ...
