This dataset includes physico-chemical characteristics of biomass smoke of five different fuels (red oak, peat, pine needles, pine, and eucalyptus) generated from a tube furnace system at two different combustion phases (smoldering and flaming) and also provides two toxicological outcomes (lung toxicity in mice and mutagenicity in Salmonella) associated with exposures to the biomass smoke PM collected by a cryo-trap system. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Kim, Y.H., S. Warren, T. Krantz, C. King, R. Jaskot, W.T. Preston, B. George, M. Hays, M. Landis, M. Higuchi, D. DeMarini, and I. Gilmour. Mutagenicity and Lung Toxicity of Smoldering Versus Flaming Emissions from Various Biomass Fuels: Implications for Health Effects from Wildland Fires. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, NC, USA, 126(1): 1, (2018).
