UFP or ultrafine particles are defined as particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 100 nanometers (nm) or 0.1 micrometers (μm) or less. They are a sub-fraction of the currently regulated PM2.5 and PM10. Since UFP are very small in size and volume, the aggregate mass of ultrafine particles is not significant compared to larger particles but they constitute the largest contributor to overall particle numbers…
Quercus is engaged in tackling air quality and unregulated UFP in Mongolia. Surveying meteorological conditions, mapping polluters, conducting air quality measurements, and identifying suitable solutions research studies have been carried out within the frame of the project in Ulaanbaatar since March 2018.
A report on the UFP research study is written encompassing some fundamental drivers of UFP emissions and dispersion and highlights unresolved challenges, as well as recommendations to ensure sustainable urban development whilst minimizing any possible adverse health impacts.
