Figure 1 from Wing et al. (2020) displaying the quartiles of measured UFP concentrations from 0 to 16 kilometers downwind of LAX. Also inset is a wind rose demonstrating the wind direction during the time of measurements, demonstrating a consistent WSW onshore breeze.

After modeling UFP exposures downwind of LAX, the authors of a new study estimated that pregnant women up to 15km from the airport could potentially be exposed to concentrations over 2.5 times baseline levels. Image: Wing et al. (2020).4
