Nanoparticles‐induced potential toxicity on human health: Applications, toxicity mechanisms, and evaluation models
Nanoparticles (NPs) have become one of the most popular objects of scientific study during the past decades. However, despite wealth of study Reports, still there is a gap, particularly in health toxicology studies, underlying mechanisms, and related evaluation models to deeply understanding the NPs risk effects.

Human and environmental impacts of nanoparticles: a scoping review of the current literature
Use of nanoparticles have established benefits in a wide range of applications, however, the effects of exposure to nanoparticles on health and the environmental risks associated with the production and use of nanoparticles are less well-established.

Transport-related airborne nanoparticles: Sources, different aerosol modes, and their toxicity
Nanoparticle emissions from transport are of considerable importance because of their dominance in terms of particle number concentration in most urban atmospheres. Nanoparticles may carry toxic substances, posing a serious threat to pedestrians, passengers and residents. The road sector has been studied intensively in both academia and industry and considerable knowledge has already been gathered.

Socioeconomic and racial disparities in source-apportioned PM2.5 levels across urban areas in the contiguous US, 2010
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution exposure is associated with short and long-term health effects. Several studies found differences in PM2.5 exposure associated with neighborhood racial and socioeconomic composition.

Impact of aeroplane noise on mental and physical health: a quasi-experimental analysis
Objectives Historically, departures at New York City’s LaGuardia airport flew over a large sports complex within a park. During the US Open tennis games, flights were diverted to fly over a heavily populated foreign-born neighbourhood for roughly 2 weeks out of the year so that the tennis match was not disturbed (the ‘TNNIS’ departure).
