As next step from model aerosols for biogenic and anthropogenic emissions, the toxicological effects of fresh (primary aerosol) and aged (secondary aerosol) real-world combustion emissions from a gasoline car and residential wood burning were investigated using cell models in Air-Liquid-Interface (mono- and co-cultures) as well as animal models. The in vitro and in vivo exposures were again supported by comprehensive chemical and physical aerosol characterization in order to uncover the relation between biological mechanisms and aerosol composition.
