Oxidative potential of gas phase combustion emissions - An underestimated and potentially harmful component of air pollution from combustion processes

摘要

The oxidative potential (OP) of the gas phase is an important and neglected aspect of environmental toxicity. Whilst prolonged exposure to particulate matter (PM) associated reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to lead to negative health effects, the potential for compounds in gas phase to cause similar effects is yet to be understood.
