AB  - The physical properties of indoor particles were measured with an Scanning 
      Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) system (14.6-850 nm), an Aerodynamic Particle 
      Sizer (APS, 0.54-18 mum) and an Hygroscopic Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer 
      (H-TDMA) in an apartment located in an urban background site in Prague (Czech 
      Republic) from 15 August to 8 September, 2014. The total particle maximum number 
      concentration was 9.38 x 10(4), 1.46 x 10(5), 2.89 x 10(4), 2.25 x 10(5) and 
      1.57 x 10(6) particles cm(-3) for particles released from vacuum cleaning, 
      soap/W5 cleaning spray, smoking, incense burning and cooking (frying) activities, 
      respectively. Particles emitted from cleaning activities showed unimodal number 
      size distributions, with the majority of particles (>98.2 %) in the ultrafine 
      size range (Dp <100 nm) and modes at a diameter of 19.8 nm for vacuum cleaning 
      and 30.6 nm for soap/W5 cleaning. Smoking and incense burning predominantly 
      generated particles in the accumulation mode with a count median diameter around 
      90-150 nm while cooking emissions showed a bimodal structure with a main mode at 
      47.8 nm. Particles from vacuum cleaning, incense burning, smoking and cooking 
      emissions were found to be "nearly hydrophobic" with an average growth factor 
      (G(f)) around 1.01-1.10, while particles emitted from desk cleaning using organic 
      compounds were found to be "less-hygroscopic" (G(f)  approximately 1.12-1.16). Based on an 
      adjusted MPPD model with a consideration of the hygroscopic properties of 
      particles, the total lung deposition fractions of these particles by number when 
      they penetrate into the human lung were 0.73 +/- 0.02, 0.62 +/- 0.03, 0.37 +/- 0.03, 
      0.32 +/- 0.03 and 0.49 +/- 0.02 for vacuum cleaning, desk cleaning, smoking, incense 
      burning and cooking, respectively.
