Background and Objectives: The oxidative potential (OP) of particulate matter (PM) in cell-
free/abiotic systems have been suggested as a possible measure of their biological …

Oxidative stress is a potential mechanism of action for particulate matter (PM) toxicity and
can occur when the body's antioxidant capacity cannot counteract or detoxify harmful effects …

It has been widely accepted that the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an
important pathophysiologic pathway linking particulate matter (PM) exposure and adverse …

Exposure to ambient air pollution has an adverse influence on human health. There is
increasing evidence that oxidative potential (OP), the capacity of airborne pollutants to …

Several cell-free assays are currently used to quantify and detect the reactive oxygen
species (ROS). All of them have certain limitations, do not provide direct comparison of …

An emerging hypothesis in the field of air pollution is that oxidative stress is one of the
important pathways leading to adverse health effects of airborne particulate matter (PM). To …

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is one of the major risks for global health. The exact
mechanisms of toxicity are still not completely understood leading to contrasting results …

Regulations on ambient particulate matter (PM) are becoming more stringent because of
adverse health effects arising from PM exposure. PM-induced oxidant production is a key …

Many studies have demonstrated associations between exposure to ambient particulate
matter (PM) and adverse health outcomes in humans that can be explained by PM capacity …

Increased mortality and diverse morbidities are globally associated with exposure to
ambient air pollution (AAP), cigarette smoke (CS), and household air pollution (HAP). The …
