Human health burdens associated with long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) are substantial. Estimation of parameters of aerosol modes with sizes below100 nm and measurement of filter efficiencies in that range are described. This information plus knowledge of indoor particle generation allows calculation of aerosol mass in occupied spaces. This paper shows how these relationships can be combined with known characteristics of PM2.5 and PM10 samplers to create reasonable inclusive models of outdoor air aerosol-size distributions. Studies have also shown that some mode parameters are, in general, related by simple functions. Outdoor air aerosol size distributions are well modeled by sums of two or three log-normal distributions, with essentially all mass in two larger modes. Outdoor air particle-size distribution is rarely available, but measures of particle mass concentration, PM2.5 and PM10, are often available for building locations. The particle count, surface and mass in an occupied space can be modeled when the HVAC system airflows are known, along with the particle-size distribution for outdoor air, internal generation rates as a function of particle size, and the efficiency as a function of particle size for filters present. Correlations between UFP and noise were affected by meteorological factors, which need to be considered in studies of short-term associations between aircraft noise and health.

Noise and UFP correlations were moderate to low suggesting that UFP are unlikely to be an important confounder in epidemiological studies of aircraft noise and health. Regression models of identified UFP sources and noise suggested that the largest source of noise (LAeq-1hr) above background was associated with sources of fresh traffic and urban UFP depending on the site. At both sites noise levels were above the recommendations by the WHO (World Health Organisation). However, the main source of PNC was associated with traffic emissions. The airport source factor contributed 17% to the PNC at both sites and the concentrations were greatest when the respective sites were downwind of the runway. Peak PNC (94,000 p cm⁻³) were highest at the site closer to the runway. Mean PNC (7500–12,000 p cm⁻³) were similar to those measured close to a highly trafficked road in central London. Positive Matrix Factorization was used on particle number size distribution to identify these sources. Particle number size distributions and noise levels were measured at two locations near Gatwick airport (UK) in 2018–19 with the aim to characterize particle number concentrations (PNC) and link PNC sources, especially UFP, with noise. Measurements of noise and UFP are however scarce near airports and so their variability and relationship are not well understood. There is increasing evidence of potential health impacts from both aircraft noise and aircraft-associated ultrafine particles (UFP).
