Objectives Studies have shown that chronic exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (less
than 2.5 µ m in aerodynamic diameter, PM2. 5) pollution induces insulin resistance through …

Background: Epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to ambient air fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and …

Exposure to urban airborne particulate matter (PM) has been associated with adverse health
effects. The majority of research articles published on air pollution PM relate to PM10 …

The epidemiological association between exposure to particulate matter (PM10) and various
respiratory and cardiovascular problems is well known, but the mechanisms driving these …

Particulate matters (PMs) are significant components of air pollution in the urban
environment. PMs with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) can penetrate to the …

Epidemiological studies show heterogeneities in the particulate pollution-related exposure–
effect relationships among cardiorespiratory patients, but the connection to chemical …

Air pollution is a ubiquitous problem and comprises gaseous and particulate matter (PM).
Epidemiological studies have clearly shown that exposure to PM is associated with impaired …

Particulate matter (PM), a component of urban air pollution that derives primarily from the
combustion of fossil fuels, is responsible for a number of health effects in humans. Recent …

We have previously shown that chronic exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (less
than 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter, PM2. 5) pollution in conjunction with high-fat diet …

Air pollution in Milan causes health concern due to the high concentrations of particulate
matter (PM10 and PM2. 5). The aim of this study was to investigate possible seasonal …
