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

The genotoxic effects of different size fractions of airborne particulate (Total, PM10 and PM2.
5), extracted with acetone or toluene, were evaluated by: the Ames plate test (TA98 and …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

This study is the in vitro part of a long-term program to investigate the impact of air pollution
on the health of a population in a polluted region of Northern Bohemia. In order to assess …

The main aim of the present study is to investigate the physicochemical characterization of
water-soluble extract (WS) and organic extract (OE) of PM2. 5 ambient in Tehran city air in …

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) …
