Epidemiological studies demonstrated an association between increased levels of ambient
air pollution particles and human morbidity and mortality. Production of oxidants, either …

Air pollution is associated with increased cardiovascular and pulmonary morbidity and
mortality. The mechanisms of air pollution‐induced health effects involve oxidative stress …

The toxic effects of air pollution are widely documented. In recent years, however, there has
been an increasing interest in the study of the health effects of particulate matter (PM), a …

Results from epidemiology studies have shown statistical associations between ambient air
particulate matter (PM) concentrations and mortality/morbidity, particularly among …

Particulates are small particles of solid or liquid suspended in liquid or air. In vitro studies
show that particles generate reactive oxygen species, deplete endogenous antioxidants …

Exposure to ambient air pollution has an adverse influence on human health. There is
increasing evidence that oxidative potential (OP), the capacity of airborne pollutants to …

Exposure to ambient air pollution particles (PM) has been associated with increased
cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality, particularly in individuals with pre-existing disease …

Chemical components of air pollutant exposures that induce oxidative stress and
subsequent inflammation may be partly responsible for associations of cardiovascular …

Air pollution remains a major factor for adverse health effects and premature death
worldwide. Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5), mainly …

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