Combustion emissions account for over half of the fine particle (PM2. 5) air pollution and
most of the primary particulate organic matter. Human exposure to combustion emissions …

An interdisciplinary and multianalytical research effort is undertaken to assess the toxic
aspects of thoroughly characterized nano‐and micrometer‐sized particles of oxidized …

We conducted a population-based case-control study among men 40–75 years of age
encompassing all cases of lung cancer 1985–1990 among stable residents of Stockholm …

Environmental carcinogens, in a strict sense, include outdoor and indoor air pollutants, as

In this study, we calibrated the performance of low-cost and portable PM sensors under the
condition of steady-state particle mass concentration by challenging them with lab …

High levels of ambient air pollution are associated with exacerbation of asthma and
respiratory morbidity, yet little is known concerning the mechanisms of inflammation and …

Background An increased risk of lung cancer has been observed due to exposure to certain
environmental heavy metals. This study elucidated the role of air-polluted heavy metals in …
