Large cohort studies in the US and in Europe suggest that air pollution may increase lung
cancer risk. Biomarkers can be useful to understand the mechanisms and to characterize …

Exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with cancer. Ambient air contains a
complex mixture of toxics, including particulate matter (PM) and benzene. Carcinogenic …

The impact of air pollution exposure on the level of total DNA adducts in human white blood
cells (WBCs) was evaluated in two populations in the Czech Republic and compared to the …

There is growing concern that air pollution exposure increases the risk of lung cancer. The
mechanism of action is related to particle-induced oxidative stress and oxidation of DNA …

Exposure to high levels of environmental air pollution is known to be associated with an
increased carcinogenic risk. The individual contribution to this risk derived from specific …

The association between ambient air pollution exposure and lung cancer risk has been
investigated in prospective studies and the results are generally consistent, indicating that …

Objectives were to investigate prospectively the ability of DNA adducts to predict cancer and
to study the determinants of adducts, especially air pollutants. DNA adducts were measured …

Hazardous air pollutants or chemical release into the environment by a variety of natural
and/or anthropogenic activities may give adverse effects to human health. Air pollutants …

The levels of bulky DNA adducts were measured by 32 P-post-labelling in lymphocytes of
194 non-smoking students living in the city of Athens and the region of Halkida, Greece …

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 …
