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 …

Particulate matter (PM) has become an important health risk factor in our society. PM can
easily deposit in the bronchi and lungs, causing diverse diseases such as respiratory …

Epidemiological studies have corroborated that respiratory diseases, including lung cancer,
are related to fine particulate matter (< 2.5 μm)(PM2. 5) exposure. The toxic responses of …

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

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 …

Principal aims of this study were at first, to find a relevant human derived cell line to
investigate the genotoxic potential of PAH-containing complex mixtures and second, to use …

Exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) has been linked to several adverse health
effects. Since vehicular traffic is a PM source of growing importance, we sampled total …

This study compared genotoxicity in bacteria, plants and cell cultures in areas at risk of
exposure to airborne pollution. Genotoxicity of moderately polar organic extracts of PM2. 5 …

Exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) links with a variety of respiratory diseases.
However, compared with coarse particles (PM 10) and fine particles (PM 2.5) …

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