Evaluation of Ultrafine Particle Emissions from Household Sources

Matthew Griffin
Particulate matter (PM) makes up a large portion of air pollution and causes many adverse health effects due to its ability to penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream. Indoor air pollution is especially dangerous as the confined space and prolonged exposure leads to an increased concentration of PM. This project involved studying and characterizing the emissions of PM from various household devices.
