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 …

Background and Objectives: The oxidative potential (OP) of particulate matter (PM) in cell-
free/abiotic systems have been suggested as a possible measure of their biological …

Particulate matter is a component of ambient air pollution that has been linked to millions of
annual premature deaths globally,–. Assessments of the chronic and acute effects of …

Poor air quality is globally the largest environmental health risk. Epidemiological studies
have uncovered clear relationships of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) with …

Soluble transition metals in particulate matter (PM) can generate reactive oxygen species in
vivo by redox cycling, leading to oxidative stress and adverse health effects. Most metals …

Atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) has been linked to multiple adverse outcomes,
where redox-active species-induced oxidative stress is recognized as an important driver of …

Wildfires emit significant amounts of pollutants that degrade air quality. Plumes from three
wildfires in the western US were measured from aircraft during the Studies of Emissions and …

Particulate air pollution being recognized to be responsible for short and long term health
effects, regulations for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 (PM …

Abstract PM 2.5 (particulate matter with the aerodynamic diameter D p< 2.5 μm) was
hypothesized to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce oxidative stress …

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 …
