"The relative risks associated with modern [particulate matter] are very small and confounded by many factors," Mr Phalen wrote in a 2004 study. "Neither toxicology studies nor human clinical investigations have identified the components and/or characteristics of [particulate matter] that might be causing the health-effect associations."
Mr Phalen has asserted that air is currently too clean, because children's lungs need to breathe irritants so their bodies can learn how to fight them. "Modern air," he said in 2012, "is a little too clean for optimum health."

That's a mixture of pseudoscience and inappropriately used science. It feels like he's getting the idea from "antibacterial soap is weakening our immune systems" and applying it to lung irritants.
