Superoxide Release from Macrophages upon Exposure to Secondary Organic Aerosols, Biomass, and Plastic Burning Particulate Matter

Abstract Oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a key process for adverse health effects upon respiratory deposition of particulate matter (PM). Alveolar macrophages can release superoxide upon phagocytosis of PM through a process called the respiratory burs...

Simulated reductions in heterogeneous isoprene epoxydiol reactive uptake from aerosol morphology in the contiguous United States using the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQv5.3.2)

Aerosol particles contain complex mixtures of polar and non-polar species that can undergo organic-inorganic phase separation. In phase-separated aerosol particles, the phase state of the outer organic coating can modulate heterogeneous chemistry. Heterogeneous chemistry leading...
