Hidden organic compounds, not just metals, drive air pollution's health risks
Researchers identified specific organic molecules in particulate matter that generate oxidative stress—a key driver of respiratory and cardiovascular disease. The finding shifts how regulators and manufacturers should monitor and control air quality, suggesting that pollution control strategies focusing only on metal content miss half the problem.
