Organic peroxides (POs) are organic molecules with one or more peroxide (− O–O−)
functional groups. POs are commonly regarded as chemically labile termination products …

Acidity, defined as pH, is a central component of aqueous chemistry. In the atmosphere, the
acidity of condensed phases (aerosol particles, cloud water, and fog droplets) governs the …

Oxidative stress is a potential mechanism of action for particulate matter (PM) toxicity and
can occur when the body's antioxidant capacity cannot counteract or detoxify harmful effects …

Protecting human health from fine particulate matter (PM) pollution is the ambitious goal of
clean air actions, but current control strategies largely ignore the role of source-specific PM …

PM2. 5 is becoming a worldwide environmental problem, which profoundly endangers
public health, thus progressively capturing public attention this decade. As a fragile target of …

Exposure to ambient air pollution has an adverse influence on human health. There is
increasing evidence that oxidative potential (OP), the capacity of airborne pollutants to …

Endothelial cells integrally form a crucial interface that maintains homeostasis of the
cardiovascular system. As a vulnerable target of PM2. 5, the underlying mechanisms of …

Most fine ambient particulate matter (PM2. 5)-based epidemiological models use globalized
concentration-response (CR) functions assuming that the toxicity of PM2. 5 is solely mass …

Phenol-formaldehyde resin microplastic (PF-MP) is one of the major inhalable microplastics
in environments released from the manufacture, processing and usage of PF materials. The …

Growing literature has documented varying toxic potencies of source-or site-specific fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5), as opposed to the practice that treats particle toxicities as …
