The oxidative potential of atmospheric particles, which is their capacity to cause oxidative stress in the body, has been noted for its strong association with acute respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, attracting attention both in Japan and internationally.
Now, for the first time in Japan, the atmospheric concentrations of metal-derived particle oxidative potential have been successfully predicted through numerical simulations based on reagent experiments and field observations, and their source-specific contributions have been evaluated.
