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 …

The increasing manufacture and use of products based on nanotechnology raises concerns
for both workers and consumers. Various studies report induction of pulmonary inflammation …

Although it is well accepted that air pollution exposure exacerbates preexisting airway
disease, it has not been firmly established that long-term pollution exposure increases the …

Inhalation of metal (loid) s in ambient particulate matter (APM) represents a significant
exposure pathway to humans. Although exposure assessment associated with this pathway …

Recent epidemiologic studies show that increased levels of air pollutants are positively
associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Inhalation of air pollutants affects …

Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air
pollution increases the risk of cardiovascular events but the exact mechanism by which PM …

In order to better understand how ambient air particulate matter (PM) affect lung health, the
two main airway cell types likely to interact with inhaled particles, alveolar macrophages …

This article summarizes a roundtable discussion held at the 2005 Society of Toxicology
Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA. The purpose of the roundtable was to review the …

Epidemiological studies report an association between exposure to biomass smoke and
cardiopulmonary morbidity. The mechanisms for this association are unclear. The aim of the …

The purpose of this work was to investigate the cardiovascular toxicity of different sizes and
different dosages of silica nanoparticles in Wistar rats. The three silica nanoparticles (30, 60 …
