Lung toxicity of ambient particulate matter from southeastern U.S. sites with different contributing sources: relationships between composition and effects.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exposure to air pollution and, more specifically, particulate matter (PM) is associated with adverse health effects. However, the specific PM characteristics responsible for biological effects have not been defined.

Objectives

In this project we examined the composition, sources, and relative toxicity of samples of PM with aerodynamic diameter MethodsW
