Exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM) is associated with pulmonary and
cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The mechanisms of PM-induced health effects are …

Generation of oxidatively damaged DNA by particulate matter (PM) is hypothesized to occur
via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. We investigated this …

There is growing concern that air pollution exposure increases the risk of lung cancer. The
mechanism of action is related to particle-induced oxidative stress and oxidation of DNA …

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 …

Exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with adverse health effects including
lung cancer. A recent epidemiology study has established that each 10μg/m3 elevation in …

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 …

Epidemiological studies have shown an association between airborne particles and a wide
range of adverse health effects. The mechanisms behind these effects include oxidative …

The epidemiological association between cancer and exposure to ambient air pollution
particles (particles with a 50% cut-off aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm (PM10)) has been …

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 …

Epidemiological studies demonstrate an association between increased human morbidity
and mortality with exposure to air pollution particulate matter. We hypothesized that such …
