Short-term exposure to ultrafine particles and asthma hospital admissions in children in Copenhagen, Denmark
In this large study in a low-exposure setting, we find that short-term exposure to UFP can trigger asthma hospital admissions in children, independently of associations with PM<sub>2.5</sub> or NO<sub>2</sub>. This study adds evidence calling for the regulation and improvement of UFP exposure assessment to protect children's health in urban areas.
