Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …

Air pollution exerts several deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system, with
cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounting for 80% of all premature deaths caused by air …

Air pollution is a very critical issue worldwide, particularly in developing countries.
Particulate matter (PM) is a type of air pollution that comprises a heterogeneous mixture of …

Globally, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality, taking an estimated
17.9 million lives annually. Myocardial infarction and stroke account for 80% of these deaths …

Abstract Purpose of Review Accumulating research indicates that ambient outdoor air
pollution impacts the brain and may affect neurodegenerative diseases, yet the potential …

Several epidemiologic and toxicological studies have widely regarded ambient fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5), the particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm, as …

We used a large national cohort in Canada to assess the incidence of acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) and stroke hospitalizations in association with long-term exposure to fine …

Systemic metabolic effects and toxicity mechanisms of ambient fine particulate matter (PM
2.5) remain uncertain. In order to investigate the mechanisms in PM 2.5 toxicity, we explored …

Systemic inflammation biomarkers have been associated with risk of cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. We aimed to clarify associations of acute exposure to particulate …

Importance Fine particulate matter (smaller than 2.5 μm)(PM 2.5) air pollution is a major
global risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Few studies have tested the …
