Abstract

The physicochemical properties of size, surface area and presence of transition metals have been implicated as drivers of the oxidative capacity of CDPM. However, the precise role of reactive organic compounds (ROC) in ambient aerosols, present either in the gas phase or the particle phase or in both phases, have not been fully-investigated for their relevance in the induction of the observed adverse health effects. Oxidation of fatty acids linked to the cell membrane phospholipids leads to many metabolites that have been used as markers of the process. Such metabolites have long been considered to be involved in two possibly inter-related processes: cell/tissue damage and signalling. As one approach to resolve the role played by ROCs, their effects on fatty acid and lipid metabolism in human lung tissues will be studied in detail by using the standard biochemical techniques and lipidomics.
