PM <sub>2.5</sub> Is a Toxic Mixture: Not Just a Matter of Concentration
Fine particulate matter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) is a complex mixture of air pollutants that may contain hazardous substances and emerging contaminants. It penetrates deep into the lungs, inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and systemic toxicity, and interacts with O<sub>3</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, SO<sub>2</sub>, and organic and inorganic constituents, thereby increasing health risks.
