Humans are exposed to various complex mixtures of particulate matter (PM) from different
sources. Long-term exposure to high levels of these particulates has been linked to a …

The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a closed circular molecule that encodes, in humans, 13
polypeptides components of the oxidative phosphorylation complexes. Integrity of the …

Traffic is a major source of particulate matter (PM), and ultrafine particulates and traffic
intensity probably contribute significantly to PM-related health effects. As a strong …

Most of the studies on air pollution focus on emissions from fossil fuel burning in urban
centers. However, approximately half of the world's population is exposed to air pollution …

Airborne particulate matter (PM) is considered to be an important contributor to lung
diseases. In the present study we report that Milan winter-PM2. 5 inhibited proliferation in …

Emissions from burning of biomass in the Amazon region have adverse effects on the
environment and human health. Herein, particulate matter (PM) emitted from biomass …

In this review, we summarize and discuss the evidence regarding the interaction between air
pollution, especially particulate matter (PM), and genomic instability. PM has been widely …

According to the increasing concern about particulate matter (PM) pollution at subway
systems, particularly its potentially severe effects on human health, this study investigated …

Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) may cause or exacerbate many
diseases, including respiratory inflammation. However, the full mechanism is not yet fully …

Air pollution has well-known harmful effects on human beings, causing both acute and
chronic diseases. Some data suggest that genetic damage occurring early in life may …
