Time series variation of concentrations of two particle size fractions in the breathing zone with three different treatments applied.

<p>A) without air cleaner, B) with room air cleaner and C) with TLA device. (Fraction 1 includes the particles between 0.3 and 0.5 μm. Fraction 2 includes the particles larger than 0.5 μm.)</p
