Simulation of the transition metal-based cumulative oxidative potential in East Asia and its emission sources in Japan

Abstract The aerosol oxidative potential (OP) is considered to better represent the acute health hazards of aerosols than the mass concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The proposed major contributors to OP are water soluble transition metals and organic compounds, but the relative magni...
