The cellular effects of PM2.5 collected in Chinese Taiyuan and Guangzhou and their associations with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs and hydroxy-PAHs
TLDR
In this paper, the effects of region and season-dependent differences of PM2.5 on cytotoxicity, and the contributions of PAHs, nitro-PAHs (N-PAHLs) and hydroxy-PAHSs (OH-PAHRs) to PM2., were examined by determining different toxicological indicators in three lung cell lines.About:

Air pollution and health
TL;DR: The effects of air pollution on health have been generating attention for years as mentioned in this paper, and a large number of pulmonologists have recently expressed concerns about this in an open letter to Dutch Members of Parliament.

TL;DR: This review provides guidance to prepare and plan efficient sampling campaigns to collect sufficient PM mass for various purposes in a reasonable timeframe and highlights that predictive modelling can help to identify pollution hotspots in an urban environment for the efficient collection of PM mass.

Exposure to Atmospheric Particulate Matter-Bound Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Their Health Effects: A Review.
Lu Yang,Hao Zhang,Xuan Zhang,Wanli Xing,Yan Wang,Pengchu Bai,Lulu Zhang,Kazuichi Hayakawa,Akira Toriba,Ning Tang +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of personal exposure, and indoor and outdoor PM-bound PAH concentrations for different participants, spaces, and cities worldwide in recent years is presented, in which the main aims are to clarify the characteristics of PAHs under different exposure conditions, in addition to the health effects and assessment methods.

Oxidative Potential Induced by Ambient Particulate Matters with Acellular Assays: A Review
Lanfang Rao,Luying Zhang,Xingzi Wang,Tingting Xie,Shumin Zhou,Senlin Lu,Xinchun Liu,Hui Lu,Kai Xiao,Weiqian Wang,Qingyue Wang +10 more
TL;DR: Several typical OP measurement techniques, including the respiratory tract lining fluid assay (RTLF), ascorbate depletion assay (AA), dithiothreitol assay (DTT), chemiluminescent reductive acridinium triggering (CRAT), dichlorofluorescin assay (DCFH) and electron paramagnetic/spin resonance assay (EPR/ESR) are discussed and their sensitivity to different PMs species composition, PMs size distribution and seasonality

TL;DR: Both of the indices of n-alkanes and diagnostic PAHs ratios support that anthropogenic sources such as vehicle emission and coal combustion were the significant pollution sources with some extents from epicuticular waxes by terrestrial plants.

TL;DR: The results indicated that PM mass concentration alone might not be able to explain the health outcomes, because PM is chemically nonspecific, and supported growing evidence that PM-size, composition and emission source, together with sampling season, interact in a complex manner to produce PM2.5-0.3-induced human adverse health effects.

Pollution characteristics of ambient PM2.5-bound PAHs and NPAHs in a typical winter time period in Taiyuan
TL;DR: In this paper, the pollution characteristics of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrated PAHs were investigated in samples collected during a typical winter time period in Taiyuan of China.
