| Abstract |
No studies have been conducted in Vietnam to understand the levels of atmospheric ultrafine particles, despite having adverse health effects. Information about indoor air quality in Vietnam is also limited. Hence we aimed to conduct the first assessment of ultrafine particle concentrations in terms of particle number (PN) in Hanoi, by simultaneously measuring indoor and outdoor PN concentrations from six households at different locations across the city in January 2016. We also acquired PM2.5 data for this monitoring period from an air quality monitoring station located at the US Embassy in Hanoi, to compare the general trends between PN and PM2.5 concentrations. The mean daily indoor and outdoor PN concentrations for the monitoring period were 1.9×10(4)p/cm(3) and 3.3×10(4)p/cm(3), respectively, with an increase during rush hour traffic. It was concluded that traffic was the main contributor to outdoor PN concentrations, with agricultural burning having a small influence at one study location. The mean ratio of indoor to outdoor PN concentrations for all six sites was 0.66±0.26, which points to outdoor air as the main driver of indoor PN concentrations, rather than indoor sources. These PN concentrations and I/O ratios are similar to those reported for a number of cities in developed countries. However, in contrast to PN, ambient mean PM2.5 concentrations in Hanoi (60-70μg/m(3)) were significantly higher than those typically recorded in developed countries. These findings demonstrate that urban particle mass (PM2.5) concentrations are not indicative of the PN concentrations, which can be explained by different sources contributing to PN and PM, and that direct measurements of PN are necessary to provide information about population exposure to ultrafine particles and for management of air quality. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 May 2017.
All research outputs
#14,918,049
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Science of the Total Environment
#15,640
of 29,635 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#164,737
of 324,351 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Science of the Total Environment
#184
of 368 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 29,635 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.6. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,351 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 368 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
