Air pollutants are known to cause several negative effects on human health. What is less well understood is how the tiniest particles, nanoparticles, affect people upon inhalation. In the nPETS project, nanoparticle emissions from the transport sector are examined both regarding their physical and chemical properties as well as their toxicity.
