چکیده
In human cell lines, woodsmoke caused more DNA damage than traffic-generated PM per unit mass and was found to induce lung cancer in mice. Oncogene mutations in human patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer were associated with exposure to wood smoke as well as tobacco smoking. Organic extracts of ambient particulate matter containing substantial quantities of woodsmoke were found to be 30fold more potent than extracts of cigarette smoke condensate in a mouse skin tumour induction assay.

متن کاملInteractive comment on “Joint Measurements of PM2.5 and light-absorptive PM in woodsmoke-dominated ambient and plume
This paper presents analysis that advances understanding of how to potentially assess woodsmoke in air without the need to conduct complex chemical analysis of a woodsmoke marker levoglucosan. It presents mostly useful and straightforward analysis from a study using aethalometers to measure PM2.5 optical absorption under conditions in which mainly woodsmoke is expected. They use this data, alon...
