PM2. 5 can cause adverse health effects via several pathways, such as inducing pulmonary
and systemic inflammation, penetration into circulation, and activation of the autonomic …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution produces inflammatory damage to the
cardiopulmonary system. This toxicity appears to be inversely related to the size of the PM …

As a result of the challenge of recent dust storms to public health, we tested the postulate
that desert dust collected in the southwestern United States imparts a biological effect in …

Inflammation and airway remodeling occur in a variety of airway diseases. Modeling aspects
of the inflammatory and fibrotic processes following repeated exposure to particulate matter …

To extend current knowledge on the underlying mechanisms of air pollution particulate
matter (PM2. 5)‐induced human lung toxicity, the metabolic activation of polycyclic aromatic …

PM 2.5 is well known as a major environmental pollutant; it has been proved to be
associated with kidney diseases. The kidney damage involves oxidative stress and/or …

Human exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) in various environment could lead to a
number of adverse health effects. Little is known about the toxic mechanism and the further …

Traffic-related particulate matter (PM) is associated with adverse health effects. Quinones
present in the traffic-related PM are hypothesized to contribute to these harmful effects …

Exposure to pollutant particles increased respiratory morbidity and mortality. The alveolar
macrophages (AMs) are one cell type in the lung directly exposed to particles. Upon contact …
