Epidemiological studies show heterogeneities in the particulate pollution-related exposure–
effect relationships among cardiorespiratory patients, but the connection to chemical …

Epidemiological and experimental studies suggest that diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) may
be associated with increased respiratory mortality and morbidity. Several recent studies …

Combustion emissions from diesel engines emit particulate matter which deposits within the
lungs. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) encounter the particles and attempt to engulf the …

We have investigated the potential of two complex mineral particles (feldspar and mylonite),
quartz (Min-U-Sil), and suspended particulate matter (SRM-1648)(SPM) from urban air to …

Background Particulate air pollution has been associated with lung and cardiovascular
disease, for which lung inflammation may be a driving mechanism. The pro-inflammatory …

The increased levels of fine particles in the atmosphere are suspected of aggravating
cardiopulmonary diseases, but the determinants of particle toxicity are poorly understood …

Epidemiological studies have shown that particulate air pollution is linked to the increase of
morbidity and mortality due to respiratory diseases. Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), which …

Abstract Background Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are deposited into the respiratory tract
and are thought to be a risk factor for the development of diseases of the respiratory system …

There is increasing evidence that diesel exhaust particles (DEP) could be incriminated in
respiratory diseases. They have been shown to induce an inflammatory response in the lung …

Objective: Numerous studies have found an association between transiently increased
particulate matter air pollution and acute adverse cardiovascular health effects; however, the …
