Characterization of urban aerosol: seasonal variation of genotoxicity of the water-soluble portion of PM2.5 and PM1

This study also shows that the water-soluble fraction of PM contributes to global genotoxicity and that transition metals play a role, therefore both organic and water-soluble fractions should be considered in an air-quality monitoring program.
