Evaluation of the toxicity of atmospheric particulate matter using the Zebrafish bioassay

This dataset contains data samples of particulate matter (PM) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) concentrations derived from studies carried out in Limeira - SP, Brazil (22° 33 '43 "S e 47° 25' 20"W) between November 2022 and January 2023. This study sampled PM using High Volume air samplers. Instruments collected Total Suspended Particulate matter (TSP) and particles smaller than 10 µm (PM10) through pre-weighed filters for 24 hours. We also performed identification of PAHs designated as High Priority Pollutants by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) by gas-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The spreadsheets present tabs with the raw data with mass (g), particle size, date and weather conditions: temperature (ºC), rain (mm), wind (km/h). There are data corresponding to the Zebrafish Embryo Acute Toxicity Test (ZFET) like survival rate, hatching and pictures of the tested organisms with the extracted PAH. In addition, another spreadsheet contains the peak areas for each PAH found in the PTS, PM10 and blank filters. Analysis conditions can be available upon request to the responsible researcher.
