Lung alveolar cell reactivity to organic fractions extracted from air particulate matter collected in an African megacity
contains biologically active organics capable of inducing oxidative stress, cell cycle disruption, and reduced metabolic activity. Broader chemical characterisation and multi-site sampling are needed to refine health risk estimates and support evidence-based regulation.
