Health effects of laser printer emissions: A controlled exposure study
In conclusion, the experimental acute responses to short, but very high‐level LPD exposures were small and did not indicate clinically relevant effects compared to low particle number concentrations.

Adolescent lung function associated with incense burning and other environmental exposures at home
Abstract
Incense burning is a popular cultural and religious practice, but whether exposure to incense smoke has effects on lung function is unclear. We investigated association between lung function and incense burning exposure and other household exposures in adolescents who participated in a mass asthma‐screening program. Information on asthmatic status and associated factors was obtained from parent‐completed questionnaires and student‐completed video questionnaires. Approximately 10% of students received lung function examinations. Valid lung function data of 5010 students aged 14‐16 years in northern Taiwan ...

Measured Performance of Filtration and Ventilation Systems for Fine and Ultrafine Particles and Ozone in an Unoccupied Modern California House
This study evaluated nine ventilation and filtration systems in an unoccupied 2006 house located 250m downwind of the I‐80 freeway in Sacramento, California. Systems were evaluated for reducing indoor concentrations of outdoor particles in summer and fall/winter, ozone in summer, and particles from stir‐fry cooking. Air exchange rate was measured continuously. Energy use was estimated for year‐round operation in California. Exhaust ventilation without enhanced filtration produced indoor PM2.5 that was 70% lower than outdoors. Supply ventilation with MERV13 filtration provided slightly less protection whereas supply M...

Personal measurement of exposure to black carbon and ultrafine particles in schoolchildren from PARIS cohort (Paris, France)
This study aimed to measure in French children personal exposure concentrations of black carbon (BC) and ultrafine particles (UFP), and to quantify the contribution of different microenvironments (home, school, places of extra‐curricular activities, transport) to their total exposure. It was conducted on 96 9‐year‐old children from the PARIS birth cohort. BC and UFP were continuously measured by portable devices (microAeth® AE51 and DiSCmini®) for a minimum of 24 hours, while participating families simultaneously filled in a space‐time‐activity questionnaire. BC exposure concentration was higher during trips (p...

Prospective longitudinal associations between household smoke exposure in early childhood and antisocial behavior at age 12
Abstract
Young children exert little control over household tobacco smoke exposure, which is considered a developmental neurotoxicant. Using the Quebec Longitudinal Study birth cohort, we examine prospective associations between early childhood smoke exposure and later antisocial behavior. Parents of 1035 children reported on the presence of household smokers at seven follow‐ups from ages 1.5 to 7.5. At age 12, children self‐reported on five aspects of early antisocial dispositions. After adjusting for confounders, every standard deviation increase in household smoke exposure was prospectively associated with a 19% sta...
