Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are a broad spectrum of disorders featured by the body's
immune responses being directed against its own tissues, resulting in prolonged …

Background: It is widely known that the harmful effects of fine dust can cause various
diseases. Research on the correlation between fine dust and health has been mainly …

Soluble transition metals in particulate matter (PM) can generate reactive oxygen species in
vivo by redox cycling, leading to oxidative stress and adverse health effects. Most metals …

Air pollution is a risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity and mortality. A
growing literature also links exposure to diverse air pollutants (eg, nanoparticles, particulate …

Urban air pollution is a serious worldwide problem due to its impact on human health. In the
past 60 years, growing evidence established a correlation between exposure to air …

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 …

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is one of the major risks for global health. The exact
mechanisms of toxicity are still not completely understood leading to contrasting results …

Air pollution is a growing public health concern of global significance. Acute and chronic
exposure is known to impair cardiovascular function, exacerbate disease and increase …

We compare the relative toxicity of various organic aerosol (OA) components identified by an
aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) based on their ability to generate reactive oxygen species …

Background The oxidative potential (OP) of particulate matter (PM) has been proposed as a
more health relevant metric than PM mass. Different assays exist for measuring OP and little …
