Biomass burning has been known as a PM 0.1 emission source that may have an impact on health. In this research, we investigate biomass burning ultrafine particles, PM 0.1 in terms of the concentration and the exposure impact on mice organ. We used two biomass burning such as pine wood and grain straw burning. The smoke was exposed to the mice for 100 seconds, and the effect on the organ was observed including lung, kidney, liver, and erythrocytes. The effects on the organ damage were related to the PM 0.1 dose concentration. The particle dose concentration was calculated by summing the total concentration of an ultrafine particle in the smoke. The PM 0.1 concentration emitted by the pine wood burning was 1.4 × 10 6 particles/cm 3 meanwhile, the concentration of the grain straw burning was 2.7 × 10 6 particles/cm 3 . We observed the exposure effects on the mice organ with the results as follows: every biomass burning produced PM 0.1 with a certain concentration. The effects of biomass burning PM 0.1 emission on organ depended on a kind of biomass and the particle dose concentration. Lung was the organ having the most effect on the biomass burning particle exposures among the other organ.
