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:

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

Sources and oxidative potential of water-soluble humic-like substances (HULIS WS ) in fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) in Beijing
Yiqiu Ma,Yubo Cheng,Xinghua Qiu,Gang Cao,Yanhua Fang,Junxia Wang,Tong Zhu,Jian Zhen Yu,Di Hu,Di Hu +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a strong correlation was observed between water-soluble humic-like substances (HULIS WS) and DTT activity; both exhibited higher levels during the heating season than during the non-heating season.

Characterization and source analysis of water-soluble inorganic ionic species in PM2.5 in Taiyuan city, China
TL;DR: In this paper, the average PM 2.5 levels in the field samples varied from 49.90 to 477.93μg/m 3 with the mean of 209.54 µm 3, which all largely exceeded the PM2.5 24-hour limitation value of 35.5 in Environmental Protection Administration of United States and 75 ǫm 3 in Ministry of Environmental Protection of China.
