Air pollution is associated with morbidity and mortality induced by respiratory diseases.
However, the mechanisms therein involved are not yet fully clarified. Thus, we tested the …

Particulate matter smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) is a continuing challenge to pulmonary
health. Here, we investigated the mechanisms involved in PM2. 5 exposure-induced acute …

Air pollution is a ubiquitous problem and comprises gaseous and particulate matter (PM).
Epidemiological studies have clearly shown that exposure to PM is associated with impaired …

Abstract Particulate matter 2.5 (< PM2. 5 μm) leads to chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease. In this study, biomarkers related to inflammation and oxidative stress in vitro and in …

Background Air pollution is a recognized aggravating factor for pulmonary diseases and has
notably deleterious effects on asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia. Recent studies suggest …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) exposure is associated with morbidity and mortality
induced by respiratory diseases and increases the lung cancer risk. However, the …

Objectives Studies have shown that chronic exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (less
than 2.5 µ m in aerodynamic diameter, PM2. 5) pollution induces insulin resistance through …

Accurate estimation of the exposure-response relationship between ambient urban
particulate matters (PM) and public health is important for regulatory perspective of ambient …

Previous studies have shown that biological effect of particulate matter (PM2. 5) is involved
in including chemical composition and mass concentration, but the precise components and …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is an important component of air pollution and can
induce lung inflammation and oxidative stress. We hypothesized that PM2. 5 could play a …
