Air particulate matter has been associated with adverse impact on the respiratory system
leading to cytotoxic and proinflammatory effects. The biological mechanisms behind these …

We hypothesized that aggregates of ultrafine carbon and washed diesel particles impair the
ability of alveolar macrophages (AM) to kill bacteria and enhance the AM lipid peroxidation …

Exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) has been associated with a number of adverse
health effects. Increasing studies have suggested that such adverse health effects may …

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

The epidemiologic association between pulmonary exposure to ambient particulate matter
(PM) and cardiovascular dysfunction is well known, but the systemic mechanisms that drive …

Both short-and long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution have been
demonstrated to cause increases in cardiovascular disease, cancer, and respiratory …

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 pollution has been considered a hazard to human health. In the past decades, many
studies highlighted the role of ambient airborne particulate matter (PM) as an important …

Water-soluble extracts of Utah Valley dust (UVD) have been found to cause inflammatory
injury of the lung in both humans and rodents. The degree of lung damage found correlated …

Epidemiological studies suggest exposure to airborne particles is responsible for a wide
range of adverse health effects, potentially arising from particle-induced oxidative stress. A …
