The socio-economic benefits to Australia will include (i) new knowledge for the multiparameter assessment of nano and ultrafine particles, pollutants in the centre of current scientific, medical and policy debates (ii) a breakthrough in the scientific understanding of traffic generated particles in the urban atmosphere (iii) determining the toxicological impact of these particles on biological systems. The ultimate economic benefit will be improved urban design to lower human exposure to ultrafine particles, thus reducing health care cost and productivity losses. The research will also place Australia at the forefront of international progress towards better methods for achieving environmental sustainability.

澳大利亚的社会经济效益将包括：(i) 对纳米和超细颗粒、污染物进行多参数评估的新知识，这些污染物是当前科学、医学和政策辩论的核心；(ii) 对城市大气中交通产生的颗粒的科学理解取得突破；(iii) 确定这些颗粒对生物系统的毒理学影响。最终的经济效益将是改善城市设计，减少人类接触超细颗粒的机会，从而降低医疗成本和生产力损失。该研究还将使澳大利亚处于国际进步的前沿，以更好的方法实现环境可持续性。
