Abstract
- Abstract: Atmospheric particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10μm (PM10) and 2.5μm (PM2.5) is now identified as one of the most dangerous pollutants on human health by the EU new directive on air quality (2008/50/CE). Although these primary pollutants are monitored in cities, little information is available on their ecotoxicity. In this paper a ‘whole-aerosol’ testing protocol is suggested based on the kinetic version of the Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition test. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
