The involvement of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) in respiratory diseases was evaluated by
studying their effects on two in vitro models of human airway epithelial cells. The cytotoxicity …

Animal studies have reported that diesel exhaust particles (DEP), which constitute an
important fraction of particulate air pollution, lead to inflammation and/or damage of the …

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM), an ingredient of urban pollution matter, is a mixture of
solid and liquid particles differing in origin, dimension and composition. There is big concern …

Several epidemiological studies have recently shown associations of increased premature
mortality rates with ambient paniculate air pollution. Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) may …

Background: Epidemiologic and experimental studies suggest that air pollution such as
diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), one of the important air pollutants, may play a role in the …

Objective: Epidemiological as well as experimental studies suggest that particulate air
pollutants, including diesel exhaust particles (DEP), may play a role in the recent increase of …

Histopathological examination and cytological analyses in bronchial alveolar lavage fluids
(BALF) were performed to clarify the acute toxicity of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) …

Epidemiologic and experimental studies suggest that diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) may
be related to increasing respiratory mortality and morbidity. We have shown that DEPs …

Epidemiological studies have associated the increase of respiratory disorders with high
levels of ambient particulate matter (PM) levels although the underlying biological …

Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) induce a proinflammatory response in human bronchial
epithelial cells (16HBE) characterized by the release of proinflammatory cytokines after …
