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 …

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

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 …

We describe the events triggered by a sub-lethal concentration of airborne particulate matter
(PM10) in A549 cells, which include the formation DNA double-strand breaks, γH2A. X …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Airborne particulate matter (PM) contains a large number of genotoxic substances capable
of endangering human health. In the present study, we have investigated the ability of …

Lung injury after particle exposure is associated with the generation of reactive oxygen
species (ROS), leading to increased levels of oxidative DNA damage. Furthermore, both …

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 …
