Characterizing PM1-bound PAHs and PBDEs in urban households: Levels, sources, and health risks
fraction highlights its relevance as a carrier of semi-volatile pollutants in residential environments and supports the need to consider ultrafine particulate fractions in inhalation exposure and risk assessments. This study provides novel data for Europe and emphasizes the importance of indoor microenvironments in contaminant exposure pathways.
