Answer:

I would go with 1 and 4

Explanation

The presence of ultrafine particles (PM0.1) in large numbers in the air poses a health risk. They usually enter the body through the lungs, but they can translocate to almost any organ. When compared to fine particles (PM2.5), they cause more pulmonary inflammation and are retained in the lung for a longer period of time.
