Randomized trial investigates carbon components in airborne nanoparticles in Cambodia, indicating serious health risks.

The study aims to evaluate the carbonaceous components in airborne nanoparticles and their variations across locations in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Aerosol sampling of PM0.1 and total suspended particulates (TSP) conducted weekly from January to April 2024.
Usage of Ambient Nanoparticle Sampler (ANS) and high-volume sampler (HV) to capture PM fractions.
Data collected at two locations to compare organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) levels.
Significant increase in organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) observed during nighttime at both locations.
ITC location showed higher OC and EC levels compared to MoE location.
Total nanoparticulate OC and EC contribute to 25-50% of TSP.

Sieng et al. (2026) studied this question.
