This thesis improved our understanding of the performance of various assays that are employed to investigate the oxidative potential (OP) of the particulate matter (PM) generated from combustion sources. The OP is expressed through the concentration of reactive oxygen species produced by diesel and biodiesel fuels. Although the combustion of the biofuel generates a lower amount of PM, the particles have a higher OP, with the increase being proportional to the oxygen content of the biofuel. Oxygen content does not only influence the OP of the particle phase but also influences the OP of the gas phase.document.getElementsByName("c12_disable_contact")[0].checked = true
