Epidemiological studies conducted in metropolitan areas have demonstrated that exposure
to environmental air pollution is associated with increases in mortality. Carcinogenic …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) appear to be significant contributors to the
genotoxicity and carcinogenicity of air pollution present in the urban environment for …

The EXPAH project was a molecular epidemiology study whose aims were to evaluate the
hypothesis that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a major source of genotoxic …

Exposure to high levels of environmental air pollution is known to be associated with an
increased carcinogenic risk. The individual contribution to this risk derived from specific …

Exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with cancer. Ambient air contains a
complex mixture of toxics, including particulate matter (PM) and benzene. Carcinogenic …

The impact of air pollution exposure on the level of total DNA adducts in human white blood
cells (WBCs) was evaluated in two populations in the Czech Republic and compared to the …

The paper describes recent research on human DNA damage related to environmental and
dietary polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposures. The study populations either …

Large cohort studies in the US and in Europe suggest that air pollution may increase lung
cancer risk. Biomarkers can be useful to understand the mechanisms and to characterize …

We investigated the effect of the seasonal variability of environmental air pollutants on
oxidative stress and cytogenetic biomarkers in a group of 59 city policemen working in …

Air pollution, which includes particulate matter (PM), is classified in group 1 as a carcinogen
to humans by the International Agency for Research in Cancer. Specifically, PM exposure …
