•Ultrafine particle (UFP) emission from simulated concrete recycling process assessed.•UFP decay profiles around source and associated exposure determined.•Effectiveness of commonly deployed masks at construction sites analysed.•Over 90% of particle number concentrations were found in UFP size range.•UFPs showed much slower decay rate compared with particles >100 nm in diameter.
