CAP exposures. A, Experimental protocol. Three groups (n=17) of 6-week-old male apoE-null mice were exposed to FA, PM2.5, and PM of <0.18 μm (UFPs) for 40 days. B and C, Chemical composition of CAPs. UFP air had a greater content of organic and elemental carbon than FP air. Particle chemical composition of the FP (B) and UFP (C) chambers was performed as described in Materials and Methods.
