(author)Particulate matter is a component of ambient air pollution that has been linked to millions of annual premature deaths globally1–3 . Assessments of the chronic and acute efects of particulate matter on human health tend to be based on mass concentration, with particle size and composition also thought to play a part4 . Oxidative potential has...article 2020
