Air pollution, which includes particulate matter (PM), is classified in group 1 as a carcinogen
to humans by the International Agency for Research in Cancer. Specifically, PM exposure …

Exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM) is associated with pulmonary and
cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The mechanisms of PM-induced health effects are …

Generation of oxidatively damaged DNA by particulate matter (PM) is hypothesized to occur
via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. We investigated this …

Airborne particulate matter (PM) contains a large number of genotoxic substances capable
of endangering human health. In the present study, we have investigated the ability of …

We describe the events triggered by a sub-lethal concentration of airborne particulate matter
(PM10) in A549 cells, which include the formation DNA double-strand breaks, γH2A. X …

Exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with adverse health effects including
lung cancer. A recent epidemiology study has established that each 10μg/m3 elevation in …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with several health effects including lung
cancer. However, the mechanisms of particle-induced carcinogenesis are not fully …

The epidemiological association between cancer and exposure to ambient air pollution
particles (particles with a 50% cut-off aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm (PM10)) has been …

Large cohort studies in the US and in Europe suggest that air pollution may increase lung
cancer risk. Biomarkers can be useful to understand the mechanisms and to characterize …

Epidemiological studies conducted in metropolitan areas have demonstrated that exposure
to environmental air pollution is associated with increases in mortality. Carcinogenic …
