Abstract
Human exposure to air pollutants is ubiquitous. Once a pollutant has been discharged into or has been formed in the air, exposure to this pollutant can hardly be avoided as people have to breathe continuously. Because people move, commute, and frequently change their positions, they can be exposed daily to various kinds and mixtures of gases and airborne particles. In addition to the diversity of the environments where exposure may occur, the many different activities and the potential number of chemicals present all pose a challenge in investigating the health risks posed by air pollutants. Not only do the daily activities and social behaviour of modern humans vary substantially. Air chemistry (species, ions, elements, mixtures), physics (temperature, pressure, radiation) and biology (fungal spores, viruses, bacteria, mites) all change in space and time as well. The air also changes dynamically in connection with differences in the meteorological, microclimatic, and other environmental characteristics.
