Background Particulate matter, especially ultrafine particles (UFPs), may cause health
effects through generation of oxidative stress, with resulting damage to DNA and other …

Exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs) from vehicle exhaust has been related to risk of
cardiovascular and pulmonary disease and cancer, even though exposure assessment is …

Air pollution, containing high-level of ultrafine particles (UFP) and benzene, is a prominent
environmental health problem in many cities of the World. We investigated the level of …

Particulate matter (PM), broadly defined as coarse (2.5–10 μm), fine (0.1–2.5 μm) and
ultrafine particles (≤ 0.1 μm), is a major constituent of ambient air pollution. Recent studies …

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 …

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

Exposure to particulate air pollution is linked to increased incidences of cardiovascular
diseases. Ambient ultrafine particles (UFP) from diesel vehicle engines have been shown to …

Epidemiological studies have shown an association between airborne particles and a wide
range of adverse health effects. The mechanisms behind these effects include oxidative …

Background Air pollution constitutes the major threat to human health, whereas their
adverse impacts and underlying mechanisms of different particular matters are not clearly …

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 …
