The contribution of residential wood burning to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been reported to be as high as 42% in North American urban areas during the heating season. Wood burning PM2.5 can be carcinogenic and cause oxidative stress via generation of reactive oxygen species (known as oxidative potential, OP). This study analyzed the toxicity of PM2.5 from wood combustion and pyrolysis by varying fuel, ventilation, and oxygen availability. The wood was burned in a tube furnace coupled with online CO/CO2 measurements, followed by PM2.5 offline organic carbon/elemental carbon and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses. The toxicity was measured via the dithiothreitol assay (OPDTT) and the benzo[a]pyrene equivalent (BaPe...
