Dear Garrigues,
I would like to submit my review manuscript entitled the bioavailability and toxicity of metals and PAHs in particulate matter – A review by Maha Zafar Qureshi and co-authors. The review highlights the different components of air pollution particulates and their health effects on plants and animals. Particulate matter has become a matter of concern due to the severe health effects of the associated components. As the population and developmental activities are increasing throughout the world, the increase in the concentrations of particulate matter is really concerning.
We declare that this manuscript is original, has not been published before and is not under consideration for publishing elsewhere.
