Particulate matter (PM) pollution is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths
worldwide, the majority due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). While many potential …

Telomeres are “protective messengers” at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes that protect
them from degradation, end to end fusion and recombination. Admittedly, telomeres …

Studies suggest that leukocyte telomere length is an index of systemic ageing. Here, we
discuss telomere length as a marker of biological ageing in relation to residential landscape …

Aging is a complex physiological phenomenon. The question why some subjects grow old
while remaining free from disease whereas others prematurely die remains largely …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with DNA damage, but the
relationships between PM, telomere length and cellular senescence remain unclear. This …

BACKGROUND: Ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure has been associated with short-
and long-term effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD). Telomere length (TL) is a biomarker …

Background Shortened leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a marker of cardiovascular risk
that has been recently associated with long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter …

Background Telomere shortening in blood leukocytes has been associated with increased
morbidity and death from cardiovascular disease and cancer, but determinants of shortened …

Background Over recent decades, adverse effects of ambient air pollution on the
cardiovascular system have been clearly demonstrated. However, the underlying …

Air pollution remains the major environmental problem globally. There is extensive evidence
showing that the variety of air pollutants from environmental and occupational exposures …
