Particulate matter (PM), a complex mix of chemical compounds, results to be associated with
various health effects. However there is still lack of information on the impact of its different …

Essential cytoskeletal functions of macrophages are migration, phagocytosis of foreign
materials, and intracellular transport and digestion The influence of fine and ultrafine test …

Particulate air pollution is associated with cardiorespiratory effects and ultrafine particles
(UFPs, diameter< 100 nm) are believed to play an important role. We studied the acute (1 h) …

Epidemiological studies demonstrate associations between increasing levels of ambient
particles and morbidity in the elderly with cardiopulmonary disease. Such findings have …

Objective To compare short-term effects of fine particles (PM2. 5; aerodynamic diameter< 2.5
µm) from different sources on the blood levels of markers of systemic inflammation. Methods …

Objective: Rats exposed to high airborne mass concentrations of low-solubility low-toxicity
particles (LSLTP) have been reported to develop lung disease such as fibrosis and lung …

The impact of long-range transport (LRT) episodes of wildfire smoke on the inflammogenic
and cytotoxic activity of urban air particles was investigated in the mouse RAW 264.7 …

Study objective To compare the physiologic and inflammatory response following inhalation
of corn dust extract (CDE) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) solutions in normal subjects …

The classic toxicology paradigm between exposure and response provides the justification
for accurate measurement of exposure to underpin good epidemiological studies aimed at …

Inhalation of (nano) particles may lead to pulmonary inflammation. However, the precise
mechanisms of particle uptake and generation of inflammatory mediators by alveolar …
