    Human Respiratory Effects
    Exposure to high concentrations of particulate matter, particularly the fraction smaller than $2.5$ micrometers ($\text{PM}{2.5}$), is strongly correlated with increased morbidity and mortality. These fine particles can penetrate deep into the alveoli. $\text{PM}{2.5}$ is believed to carry intrinsic charges related to the overall atmospheric electric field, which facilitates binding to lung tissues that possess a low inherent surface potential [5]. Chronic exposure leads to exacerbated [asthma](/entr…
