Ultrafine Particles Monitoring in Paris: From Total Number Concentrations to Size Distributions Measurements by Grégory Abbou, Véronique Ghersi, François Gaie-Levrel, Anne Kauffmann, Mikael Reynaud, Christophe Debert, Philippe Quénel, Alexia Baudic

“…This study aims at presenting an overview of UFP measurements carried out in Paris from October 2019 to December 2022 using a mobility particle size spectrometer (MPSS). An averaged particle number concentration (PNC) of 8,100 ± 4,800 # cm−3 was recorded between 8 and 100 nm on the analysis period, which was consistent with UFP concentrations usually observed in urban background conditions (< 104 # cm−3). …”
