Exposure to particulate matter (PM) leads to kinds of cardiopulmonary diseases, such as
asthma, COPD, arrhythmias, lung cancer, etc., which are related to PM‐induced …

Spatiotemporal trends in pro-inflammatory (interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8) release after
exposure to the water-soluble fractions of PM2. 5 sampled in 10 large Chinese cities over 1 …

A large number of epidemiological studies have shown that increased cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality are associated with exposure to high concentrations of PM 2.5. One …

Because of its speed and convenience, the subway has become the first choice for travel by
many residents. However, the concentration of fine particles (PM 2.5) in the air of a subway …

Health effects associated with particulate matter (PM) show seasonal variations. We
hypothesized that these heterogeneous effects may be attributed partly to the differences in …

Particulate matter (PM) increases levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, but its effects on the
skin remain largely unknown. We investigated the signal transduction pathway and …

In order to better understand how ambient air particulate matter (PM) affect lung health, the
two main airway cell types likely to interact with inhaled particles, alveolar macrophages …

Air pollutants have serious health effects on human beings. The 2010 Global Burden of
Disease study reports that each year, ambient particulate matter (PM2. 5, particles with …

Background Particulate matter (PM) is a high risk factor for various respiratory diseases and
triggers an inflammatory response in lung tissues. However, the molecular mechanism of the …

Background Particulate air pollution is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular
disease and stroke. Although the precise mechanisms underlying this association are still …
