Objective: To measure unhealthy aerosol materials in an Emergency Department (ED) and identify their sources for mitigation efforts.
Background: Based on pilot findings of elevated ED particulate matter (PM) levels, investigators hypothesized that unhealthy aerosol materials derive from exogenous (vehicular) sources at ambulance receiving entrances.
Methods: The Aerosol Environmental Toxicity in Healthcare-related Exposure and Risk program was conducted as an observational study.
