Chemical composition of wood combustion particles Deposited dose: 199 ± 58 ng/cm2; equiv. to daily TB dose at ambient 400–1000 µg/m3 PM
Primary OM: dominant fraction at AL eBC: most abundant at HL Higher OM:BC ratios in aged particles
due to secondary OM formation

Gasoline, diesel & wood particles – acute (24h) responses to single, short-term (1-2h) exposure at realistic particle doses (TB 24h, PM <20-1000µg/m3)
Findings
> Cytotoxicity ↑ with dose in normal & vulnerable HBE (G/SOA; W/POA,SOA)
> Cytokine release ↓ (G/SOA;D/POA,SOA)
> Oxidative stress ↑ (W/POA,SOA)
> Adverse effects at lowest dose (G/SOA;D/POA,SOA)
> Differences between normal & diseased HBE (G/SOA;W/POA,SOA)
> Cause-effect: highest correlation with all particle fractions* (W/POA,SOA)
> Effects of POA ∼ SOA (D,W/POA,SOA)
> Differences between simplistic, single-cell type cell lines and fully differentiated HBE (G/SOA; D,W/POA,SOA)
Consequences
Impairment of epithelial key-defense mechanisms, rendering the epithelium more vulnerable to subsequent hazards
No evidence for threshold (NOAEL)
Confirms susceptibility of impaired epithelia
Effects might be attributable to a combination of particle characteristics
Higher SOA-toxicity not confirmed
Use of HBE to be most appropriate in future in-vitro toxicity studies
