There is compelling evidence that exposure to particulate matter (PM) is linked to lung
tumorigenesis. However, there is not enough experimental evidence to support the specific …

DNA repair may prevent increased levels of oxidatively damaged DNA from prolonged
oxidative stress induced by, eg exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP). We studied …

The most versatile cellular pathway for dealing with a large variety of structurally-unrelated
DNA alterations is nucleotide excision repair (NER). Most genomic damage, if not repaired …

Traffic is a major source of particulate matter (PM), and ultrafine particulates and traffic
intensity probably contribute significantly to PM-related health effects. As a strong …

There is compelling evidence that particulate matter (PM) increases lung cancer risk by
triggering systemic inflammation, and leukocyte DNA hypomethylation. However, previous …

Genotoxicity of indoor air pollution from biomass fuel use has been examined in 132
biomass users (median age 34 years) and 85 age-matched control women from eastern …

Inflammation has been recognized as an important factor in cancer development. For the
lung, experimental studies with rats, as well as molecular epidemiological studies in …

Chronic exposure to arsenic, most often through contaminated drinking water, has been
linked to several types of cancer in humans, including skin and lung cancer. However, the …

Ambient particulate air pollution assessed as outdoor concentrations of particulate matter≤
2.5 μm in diameter (PM2. 5) has been associated with an increased cancer risk. However …

Initial analyses of the lung tumors seen in rats exposed for their lifetime to elevated levels of
the emissions of diesel engines suggested that they were due to powerful mutagens and …
