Inflammation and the coagulation cascade are considered to be the potential mechanisms of
ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure-induced adverse cardiovascular events. Tumor …

Ambient and indoor air pollution contributes annually to approximately seven million
premature deaths. Air pollution is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate materials. In …

The association between fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) exposure and mental disorders is
attracting increasing attention, but the roles of specific PM2. 5 chemical constituents have yet …

Background: The concept of chemical agents having properties that confer potential hazard
called key characteristics (KCs) was first developed to identify carcinogenic hazards …

Systemic inflammation is a key mechanism in the development of cardiovascular diseases
induced by exposure to fine particles (particles with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm [PM2 …

A growing number of studies associated increased mortality with exposures to specific fine
particulate (PM2. 5) constituents, while great heterogeneity exists between locations. In …

Air pollution and particulate matter (PM) are significant factors for adverse health effects
most prominently cardiovascular disease (CVD). PM is produced from various sources …

Existing evidence is scarce concerning the various effects of different PM sizes and chemical
constituents on blood lipids. A panel study that involved 88 healthy college students with five …

Abstract Fine particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5), one of the main components of air pollutants,
seriously threatens human health. Possible neuronal dysfunction induced by PM 2.5 has …

Background Ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) pollution poses a great threat on global
health. Previous studies have reported that PM 2.5 regulates circulating fibrinogen and IL-6 …
