Exposure to particulate matter (PM) pollution in cities and urban canyons can be harmful to
the exposed population. However, the underlying mechanisms that lead to health effects are …

Epidemiological and toxicological studies have suggested that the health effects associated
with exposure to particulate matter (PM) are related to the different physicochemical …

Compelling evidence indicates that exposure to air pollution particulate matter (PM) affects
human health. However, how PM composition interacts with PM-size to cause adverse …

Adverse health effects are associated with exposure to atmospheric particulate matter (PM),
which carry various chemical constituents and induce both exogenous and endogenous …

Elevated levels of air pollution particulates 10 mum in diameter (PM10) have been
associated with an increase in mortality and morbidity due to pulmonary complications …

Regulations on ambient particulate matter (PM) are becoming more stringent because of
adverse health effects arising from PM exposure. PM-induced oxidant production is a key …

Epidemiological reports demonstrate an association between increased human morbidity
and mortality with exposure to air pollution particulate matter (PM). Metal-catalyzed oxidative …

Oxidative stress is a potential mechanism of action for particulate matter (PM) toxicity and
can occur when the body's antioxidant capacity cannot counteract or detoxify harmful effects …

Air pollution is associated with increased cardiovascular and pulmonary morbidity and
mortality. The mechanisms of air pollution‐induced health effects involve oxidative stress …

Background Although the mechanisms of airborne particulate matter (PM) related health
effects remain incompletely understood, one emerging hypothesis is that these adverse …
