Efforts to understand and mitigate the health effects of particulate matter (PM) air pollution
have a rich and interesting history. This review focuses on six substantial lines of research …

Air pollution is a heterogeneous, complex mixture of gases, liquids, and particulate matter.
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a consistent increased risk for cardiovascular …

This review considers the molecular toxicology of combustion-derived nanoparticles (CDNP)
following inhalation exposure. CDNP originate from a number of sources and in this review …

Background: Particulate air pollution is associated with increased mortality. There is a need
for European results from multicountry databases concerning cause-specific mortality to …

The aim of the present review was to provide an up-to-date overview of the biological and
epidemiological evidence of the role of oxidative stress as a major underlying feature of the …

INTRODUCTION: Owing to their small size, fine particles, ie, those having a diameter≤ 2.5
μm (PM2. 5), have a high alveolar penetration capacity, thereby triggering a local …

Carbon nanomaterials have multiple applications in various areas. However, it has been
suggested that exposure to nanoparticles may be a risk for the development of vascular …

The relationship between increased exposure to PM and adverse cardiovascular effects is
well documented in epidemiological studies. Inflammation in the lungs, caused by deposited …

Background Exposure to fine particulate matter air pollutants (PM 2.5) affects heart rate
variability parameters, and levels of serum proteins associated with inflammation …

Context: Environmental exposure to particulate matter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2. 5) has been
associated with changes in heart rate variability (HRV). Objective: To evaluate the effect of …
