The socio-economic benefits to Australia will include (i) quantitative knowledge of the exposure to nano and ultrafine particles, pollutants in the centre of current scientific, medical and policy debates and (ii) a breakthrough in the scientific understanding of the specific particle properties, which have impacts on health effects. The ultimate economic benefit will be improved urban design to lower, in particular, children's exposure to ultrafine particles, thus reducing life long impacts, health care cost and productivity losses. The research will also place Australia at the forefront of international progress towards better methods for achieving environmental and public health sustainability.

澳大利亚的社会经济效益将包括（i）对纳米和超细颗粒、污染物暴露的定量知识，这些污染物是当前科学、医学和政策辩论的中心；（ii）对特定颗粒特性的科学理解取得突破，这对健康有影响。最终的经济效益将是改善城市设计，特别是减少儿童接触超细颗粒的机会，从而减少对终生的影响、医疗保健成本和生产力损失。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和公共卫生的可持续性。
