Exposure to ambient air pollution particles (PM) has been associated with increased
cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality, particularly in individuals with pre-existing disease …

The toxic effects of air pollution are widely documented. In recent years, however, there has
been an increasing interest in the study of the health effects of particulate matter (PM), a …

Air pollution is associated with increased cardiovascular and pulmonary morbidity and
mortality. The mechanisms of air pollution‐induced health effects involve oxidative stress …

Epidemiologic and occupational studies demonstrated that ambient particulate matter (PM)
and diesel exhaust particles (DEP) exert deleterious effects on human cardiopulmonary …

A number of epidemiological studies have associated increased cardiopulmonary mortality
and hospital admissions with episodes of high particulate air pollution. Inhaled particles …

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 …

In order to better understand how ambient air particulate matter (PM) affect lung health, the
two main airway cell types likely to interact with inhaled particles, alveolar macrophages …

Large population cohort studies have indicated an association between exposure to
particulate matter and cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. The inhalation of toxic …

Air pollution has been considered a hazard to human health. In the past decades, many
studies highlighted the role of ambient airborne particulate matter (PM) as an important …

Health effects associated with particulate matter (PM) show seasonal variations. We
hypothesized that these heterogeneous effects may be attributed partly to the differences in …
