This review reports the role of oxidative stress in impairing the function of lung exposed to
particulate matter (PM). PM constitutes a heterogeneous mixture of various types of particles …

Ambient particulate matter (PM) is an environmental factor that has been associated with
increased respiratory morbidity and mortality. The major effect of ambient PM on the …

This review focuses on the potential role that oxidative stress plays in the adverse effects of
PM10. The central hypothesis is that the ability of PM10 to cause oxidative stress underlies …

Significance: Oxidative stress and oxidative damage are central hypothetical mechanisms
for the adverse effects of airborne particulate matter (PM). Activation of inflammatory cells …

The toxic effects of air pollution are widely documented. In recent years, however, there has
been an increasing interest in the study of the health effects of particulate matter (PM), a …

Exposure to ambient air pollution particles (PM) has been associated with increased
cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality, particularly in individuals with pre-existing disease …

Exposure to pollutant particles increased respiratory morbidity and mortality. The alveolar
macrophages (AMs) are one cell type in the lung directly exposed to particles. Upon contact …

Inflammation is considered to play a central role in a diverse range of disease outcomes
associated with exposure to various types of inhalable particulates. The initial mechanisms …

Recent studies have suggested a link between inhaled particulate matter (PM) exposure
and increased mortality and morbidity associated with pulmonary and cardiovascular …

Air pollution is the largest environmental risk factor for disease and premature death. Among
the different components that are present in polluted air, fine particulate matter below 2.5 μm …
