Complexation state of iron and copper in ambient particulate matter and its effect on the oxidative potential
… contributing to the toxicological property of ambient particulate matter (PM). Various methods of assessing this toxicity have been applied, including measuring the capability of PM components to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the capability of consuming antioxidants. However, …

Investigating Aerosol Composition with Low Cost Optical Particle Counters
Particulate matter (PM) is a serious threat to human health and contributes to millions of premature deaths a year globally. Access to source attribution and compo-sitional data of PM can have many benefits from easier regulation to enabling a better understanding of the negative health effects …

The Role of Ambient Air Pollution in the Occurrence of Emphysema
… knowledge, the relationship between long-term ambient air pollution (especially PM<sub>10</sub> and ozone) and incidence of emphysema has not been reported. This dissertation evaluates associations between incidence of emphysema and long-term ambient concentrations of PM<sub>10</sub> and ozone …

Rethinking the dithiothreitol based PM oxidative potential: measuring DTT consumption versus ROS generation
… thesis focuses mainly on a major air pollutant, PM 2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5µm), which has been associated with rising morbidity, increased possibility of obesity, respiratory diseases. The mechanism of how PM2.5 brings impact to human’s health has been …

Development of novel methodologies for utilising low-cost sensors for ambient Particulate Matter measurement
There is increasing concern about the impact of ambient Particulate Matter (PM) exposure on human health. Existing ambient air quality monitoring networks, because of their sparseness, are not able to capture the spatial-temporal variation of ambient PM concentration. Recent studies have shown that …
