Background People are exposed to ambient particulate matter (PM) from multiple sources
simultaneously in both environmental and occupational settings. However, combinatory …

Diesel exhaust and its particles (DEP) have been under scrutiny for health effects in
humans. In the development of these effects inflammation is regarded as a key process …

Exposure to diesel engine exhaust particles (DEPs), representing a complex and variable
mixture of components, has been linked with cellular production and release of several …

Background Exposure to diesel engine exhaust particles (DEPs) has been associated with
several adverse health outcomes in which inflammation seems to play a key role. DEPs …

Epidemiological studies have associated the increase of respiratory disorders with high
levels of ambient particulate matter (PM) levels although the underlying biological …

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM), an ingredient of urban pollution matter, is a mixture of
solid and liquid particles differing in origin, dimension and composition. There is big concern …

Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are the main components of ambient particulate materials,
including polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), n-PAHs, heavy metals, and gaseous …

Several plausible mechanisms have been proposed to explain the adverse health effects of
particulate matter (PM) in polluted ambient air [1]. To date, experimental support has been …

Adsorbed soluble organics seem to be the main drivers of inflammatory responses induced
by diesel exhaust particles (DEP). The specific compounds contributing to this process and …

Background Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are a major component of outdoor air pollution.
DEP mediated pulmonary effects are plausibly linked to inflammatory and oxidative stress …
