Dithiothreitol‐Measured Oxidative Potential of Size‐Segregated Particulate Matter in Fukuoka, Japan: Effects of Asian Dust Events
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "GeoHealth"
DOI: 10.1029/2019gh000189
Abstract: Oxidative potential is an important property of particulate matter (PM) that has been regarded as a more health‐relevant metric than PM mass. We investigated the oxidative potential of size‐segregated PM and effects of Asian dust… read more here.
