PFPs generate reactive oxygen species. (A) Chemical reaction showing the multistep reduction of molecular oxygen into reactive oxygen species. (B) Dithiothreitol consumption (n=10), and the generation of hydrogen peroxide (n=3), and hydroxyl radical (n=5) were assayed for PFP and compared to urban ambient PM2.5 collected from Fresno, CA.
