Airborne particulate matter (PM) contains a large number of genotoxic substances capable
of endangering human health. In the present study, we have investigated the ability of …

Particulate air pollution is an important environmental health risk. In the present study, we
have investigated the ability of chemically characterized water and organic-soluble extracts …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with several health effects including lung
cancer. However, the mechanisms of particle-induced carcinogenesis are not fully …

Urban particulate matter (UPM) includes particles of size smaller than 10 μm (PM10), which
may impact on human respiratory and cardiovascular health. It has been reported previously …

Air pollution, which includes particulate matter (PM), is classified in group 1 as a carcinogen
to humans by the International Agency for Research in Cancer. Specifically, PM exposure …

Ambient air particulate matters are classified into two distinct modes in size distribution,
namely the coarse and fine particles. Correlation between high particulate concentration …

Traffic is a major source of particulate matter (PM), and ultrafine particulates and traffic
intensity probably contribute significantly to PM-related health effects. As a strong …

The main aim of this study was to compare the genotoxic potential of organic extracts from
urban air particles collected in three different sampling periods in the center of Prague …

Particulate matter less than 10 μm aerodynamic diameter (PM10) is associated with adverse
health effects including increased respiratory problems and mortality. PM10 is also …

Extracted organic material (EOM) from PM10 airborne particles collected during three
distinct seasons in Mexico City was assayed for genotoxicity, cytokinetic effects and …
