• Fine particulate matter catalyzes oxidative stress in the lungs
  

  A new study conducted by a team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPIC) reveals that the adverse health effects of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are attributable to the conversion of peroxides into more reactive species such as the hydroxyl radical (OH) rather than the dir more

• Nanoplastics unexpectedly produce reactive oxidizing species when exposed to light
