This unexpected and widespread halt in travel provided a rare opportunity for researchers to explore the impact of these mobility changes on air pollution, specifically ultrafine particles. Now, a ...

Ultrafine particles linked to over 1,000 deaths per year in Canada's two largest cities Canada's two largest cities Study points to an urgent public-health need for tighter environmental regulations ...

Ultrafine particles are a subset with a diameter of less than 0.1 micrometres. “That makes them very dangerous, because, being so small, they can get very, very deep into the human body,” says ...

Their study, published recently in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, finds that long-term exposure to the ultrafine particles known as UFPs – which are typically ...

Researchers at McGill University have published a study showing that outdoor ultrafine particles are linked to the deaths of an estimated 1,100 people per year in Canada’s two biggest cities.

Ultrafine particles are approximately one-thousandth the width of a human hair. But because of their tiny size, they are easily inhaled – and typically more dangerous than larger particles.

Ultrafine particles are aerosols less than 0.1 micrometers, or 100 nanometers, in diameter—about one-thousandth the width of a human hair.
