Aerosol characterisation including oxidative potential as a proxy of health impact
Résumé
Research article Aerosol characterisation including oxidative potential as a proxy of health impact: a case of a residential site in a highly industrialised area Introduction Context and problem Pollution is now recognised to be a huge environmental threat, with air pollution being a leading cause of premature human death (Landrigan et al., 2018). The different air pollutants, their doses and time of exposure and in particular the pollutant mixtures to which humans are usually exposed lead to adverse impacts on human (and similarly to animal) health that range from acute to chronic effects. Epidemiological studies and animal model data state that primarily affected systems are the cardiovascular and the respiratory system (Kampa and Castanas, 2007). In terms of the health effects of the particulate matter (PM), there has been substantial progress in the evaluation of
