The long-term implications of Ti and Mg implants within the human body are not yet fully …

Background Wood combustion emissions have been studied previously either by in vitro or
in vivo models using collected particles, yet most studies have neglected gaseous …

Recent developments in epidemiology have confirmed that airborne particulates are directly
associated with respiratory pathology and mortality. Although clinical studies have yielded …

Significance: Oxidative stress and oxidative damage are central hypothetical mechanisms
for the adverse effects of airborne particulate matter (PM). Activation of inflammatory cells …

Significance: The environment can elicit biological responses such as oxidative stress (OS)
and inflammation as a consequence of chemical, physical, or psychological changes. As …

Airborne particulate matter (PM) is a leading driver of premature mortality and
cardiopulmonary morbidity, associated with exacerbations of asthma and chronic obstructive …

Background Little is known about the role of environmental exposures in the
pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). In this study, we measured the impact of air …

Chronic exposure to high levels of particulate matter (PM) is correlated to a higher
prevalence of cardio-metabolic disturbances. Adipose tissue represents a pivotal regulator …

The variability of quartz hazard stands as one of the most puzzling issues in particle
toxicology, notwithstanding the fact that silicosis, the most ancient occupational disease, was …
