Abstract The Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs or polyaromatic hydrocarbons) have
been extensively studied to understand their distribution, fate and effects in the environment …

Background The oxidative potential (OP) of particulate matter (PM) has been proposed as a
more health relevant metric than PM mass. Different assays exist for measuring OP and little …

Atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are associated with adverse health
effects in exposed populations. Understanding PAH pollution in ambient air and its adverse …

Urban road dusts are carriers of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) and are therefore
considered to be a major source of contamination of other environmental compartments and …

We assessed the interactions among the particulate matter (PM) components in generating
the reactive oxygen species (ROS) based on a dithiothreitol (DTT) assay. We started with the …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a unique class of organic pollutants containing
two or more fused aromatic rings, which are toxic and potential carcinogens. They are …

Abstract Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) molecular diagnostic ratios (MDRs) are
unitless concentration ratios of pair-PAHs with the same molecular weight (MW); MDRs have …

This study aims to investigate distribution and sources of 16 polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) bound to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) captured in a semi-urban …

Vehicular emissions are a key source of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), including
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their oxygenated (OPAH) and nitrated (NPAH) …

Organic compounds are important contributors to the oxidative potential (OP) of atmospheric
aerosols. This study is the first to report the OP of water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) …
