Properties and Inflammatory Effects of Various Size Fractions of Ambient Particulate Matter from Beijing on A549 and J774A.1 Cells

Particulate matter (PM) is a major ambient air pollutant causing millions of premature deaths each year in China. The toxicity of PM is property and size dependent. In this study, ambient PM samples collected in Beijing were divided into five size fractions with nominal aerodynamic ranges of
