Abstract/Summary
Evaluate the generation and control of ultrafine particles (in terms of mass, surface area and number) at several automotive manufacturing plants. Relate the ultrafine exposures to respiratory and other symptoms and objective measures of pulmonary inflammation while providing control recommendations linked to cost-benefit analysis.
