Total or inhalable (PM10) particulate matter is monitored as a quality air criteria. Airborne
particles deposit onto the differently sensitive biological tissues of the respiratory tract …

This research was designed to examine the presence of mutagenic/carcinogenic
compounds in urban airborne particulate matter in relation to particles aerodynamic size …

The mutagenicity of airborne particulate matter was monitored at a site representative of the
high traffic density of the city of Rome. Inhalable (less than 10 μm) particles were collected …

The mutagenic activities associated with inhalable airborne particulate matter (PM10)
collected over a year in four towns (Czech Republic) have been determined. The …

ARPA Emilia Romagna created, in 1997, a regional network for the continuous monitoring of
the mutagenicity of PM2. 5 by short-term mutagenicity bioassays to guarantee a constant …

Organic extracts from airborne particles collected at various sites in Scandinavia have been
tested for mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella/microsome assay. Extracts from particles in …

In the ambient is> 2000 chemical substances, some of them are absorbed on the surface of
the particulate matter and may causes many health problems. Air pollution is responsible …

Many studies indicate that aerosols in the ambient atmosphere may have mutagenic
properties. Most of these investigations were conducted in industrial or urban areas or near …

Indoor concentrations of total suspended particles often exceed outdoor concentrations.
Although it is known that particulate matter may contain mutagenic compounds and that …

Urban particulate matter (PM) is an environmental public health concern as it has been
classified by the IARC as carcinogenic to humans (group 1) and it's well known that …
