Air pollution is recognized as causal factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is
associated with multiple CVD risk factors. Substantial research effort has been invested in …

Genetic susceptibility is likely to play a role in response to air pollution. Hence, gene-
environment interaction studies can be a tool for exploring the mechanisms and the …

Background Both genetic factors and air pollution are risk factors for coronary artery disease
(CAD), but their combined effects on CAD are uncertain. The study aimed to …

Background Impaired lung function is predictive of mortality and is a key component of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Lung function has a strong genetic component but is …

Environmental health studies relate how exposures (eg, chemicals) affect human health and
disease; however, in most cases, the molecular and biological mechanisms connecting an …

The association between air pollution and a wide-ranging spectrum of acute and chronic
disorders—including cardiovascular diseases—is widely acknowledged. Exposure to …

Ambient air pollution is recognised globally as a significant contributor to the burden of
cardiovascular diseases. The evidence from both human and animal studies supporting the …

Modern society grew rapidly over the last few decades and this led to an alarming increase
in air pollutants and a worsening of the human health, especially in relation to the respiratory …

Uncovering the interaction between genomes and the environment is a principal challenge
of modern genomics and preventive medicine. While theoretical models are well defined …

Background Epidemiological studies have linked air pollutant to adverse health effects even
at low exposure levels, but limited evidence is available on its associations with gene …
