Abstract Burning plastic waste releases massive amounts of atmospheric particulate matter (PM), but its chemical composition and health-related properties are largely unelucidated. Here we characterize PM generated from burning common types plastics quantify reactive oxygen/chlorine species oxidative potential (OP). We find that contains high levels environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs), transition metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In the aqueous phase, generates hydrogen peroxide, •OH radicals, carbon-centered organic exhibiting OP as characterized by DTT OH assays. Remarkably, is associated with concentrations hypochlorous acid. Kinetic model simulations demonstrate respiratory deposition leads to formation via complex redox reactions among constituents antioxidants in lung lining fluid. Our study highlights significant health implications for unregulated burning, particularly many areas developing countries.
