Particulate matter (PM) 0.1 samples was significantly (p 10 at the same concentration, except for PM samples obtained from the control point. PM0.1 samples—even those that were collected from control territories—showed increased genotoxicity (micronucleus, ‰) compared to PM10. The study findings suggest that UFPs deserve special attention as a biological agent, distinct from larger PMs.
