Short summary
We measured the oxidative potential of airborne particles – a property that has been linked to health problems caused by particles – from different emission source mixtures in Fresno, CA. Copper was responsible for the majority of the oxidative potential (as measured by the DTT assay), followed by unknown species (likely organics) and manganese. Sources of copper-rich particles, including vehicles, had higher oxidative potentials.
