The rapid proliferation of many different engineered nanomaterials (defined as materials
designed and produced to have structural features with at least one dimension of 100 …

Generation of oxidatively damaged DNA by particulate matter (PM) is hypothesized to occur
via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. We investigated this …

Oxidative stress caused by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a major
role in inflammatory processes. We hypothesized that modulation of ROS via quercetin may …

Exposure to particulate silica (most crystalline polymorphs) causes a persistent inflammation
sustained by the release of oxidants in the alveolar space. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

Inflammatory lung diseases are characterized by chronic inflammation and
oxidant/antioxidant imbalance, a major cause of cell damage. The development of an …

Well-documented air pollution episodes throughout recent history have led to deaths among
individuals with cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Although the components of air …

In vitro studies suggest that reactive oxygen species contribute to the cardiopulmonary
toxicity of particulate air pollution. To evaluate the ability of particulate air pollution to …

Inhalation of the crystalline form of silica is associated with a variety of pathologies, from
acute lung inflammation to silicosis, in addition to autoimmune disorders and cancer. Basic …

Rationale: Short-term exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with lower lung
function. Few studies have examined whether these associations are detectable at relatively …

Concerns about the risk of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) to human health and
environment are gradually increasing due to their wide range of applications. In this study …
