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

Ambient particulate matter (PM) has been shown to be associated with mortality and
morbidity. Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) contribute to ambient PM. Alveolar macrophages …

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

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

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

Adverse health effects of urban air pollution particulates may be attributable to particle
mediated oxidant stress and inflammation. Intracellular oxidant production in normal …

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 …

The effects of diesel exhaust particle (DEP) exposure on alveolar macrophage (AM)
response to ex vivo and in vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge were determined by …

Epidemiology studies associate increased pulmonary morbidity with episodes of high
particulate air pollution (size range 0.1-10 mum diameter, PM10). Pneumonia, often viral in …

The composition of airborne particulate matter (PM) varies widely depending on its source,
and recent studies have suggested that particle-associated adverse health effects are …
