Effect of Deferoxamine (DF, a metal chelator) and PM_2.5 ADEPRC extracts on BEAS-2B cell viability. Cells were treated with PM_2.5 extracts collected during the dust storm (ADEPRC) and non-storm (Non-ADEPRC) season in the presence (w DF) and absence of DF (w/o DF) at 50 μM for 24 h and cell viability was evaluated. Triton-X (+CNT) at 25 mg/ml was used as positive control. Bars represent mean cell viability ± SEM. Stars over the bars indicate comparison of a treatment with DMSO. Stars over the line indicate a comparison between two treatments. All extract concentrations were tested in 3 independent experiments; ***p < 0.001, *p < 0.05.
