(author), Janssen, N.A.H. (author), Brunekreef, B. (author), Kooter, I.M. (author)Oxidative potential (OP) has been suggested as a health-relevant measure of air pollution. Little information is available about OP spatial variation and the possibility to model its spatial variability. Our aim was to measure the spatial variation of OP within and between 10 European study areas. The second aim was to develop land use...article 2017

(author)The capacity of Particulate Matter (PM) to oxidise target molecules, defined as its oxidative potential (OP), has been proposed as a biologically more relevant metric than PM mass. Different assays exist for measuring OP and their methodologies vary in the choice of extraction solvent and filter type. Little is known about the impact of...article 2014

Keuken, M. (author), Zandveld, P.Y.J. (author), van den Elshout, S. (author), Janssen, N.A.H. (author), Hoek, G. (author)A health impact assessment (HIA) of PM10 and elemental carbon (EC) was performed for the period 1985-2008 in the city of Rotterdam. The spatial distribution of the concentrations was modeled by the URBIS model. The modeling results for 2008 were validated by PM10 and EC measurements at various locations in Rotterdam. This paper describes the HIA...article 2011

(author), Atkinson, R.W. (author), Anderson, H.R. (author), Cassee, F.R. (author)Background: Current air quality standards for particulate matter use the PM mass concentration (PM10 or PM2.5) as a metric. It has been suggested that particles from combustion sources are more health relevant than particles from other sources, but the impact of policies directed at reducing particles from combustion processes is usually...article 2011
