Background During inhalation, airborne particles such as particulate matter≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.
5), can deposit and accumulate on the alveolar epithelial tissue. In vivo studies have shown …

Objective: Numerous studies have found an association between transiently increased
particulate matter air pollution and acute adverse cardiovascular health effects; however, the …

Background: Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) deposited in the human respiratory tract are
commonly seized by an innate defense system including a multitude of clearance …

Inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) is associated with pulmonary and
cardiovascular disease. One contributor to pathogenesis is inhaled particles reaching and …

Background: Based on numerous experimental and epidemiological studies diesel exhaust
particles (DEPs) have been evaluated as serious health hazards, whose uptake by …

Epidemiologic studies have linked diesel exhaust (DE) to cardiovascular and respiratory
morbidity and mortality, as well as lung cancer. DE composition is known to vary with many …

Whether diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) potentially have a direct effect on capillary
endothelia was examined by following the adherens junction component, vascular …

The objective of this study was to predict the lung burden of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs)
from automobile emissions in rats and humans by means of a mathematical model. We …

Ambient particles have been consistently associated with adverse health effects, yielding
mainly high cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality. Diesel engines represent a major …

In vitro exposure to aerosols at the air–liquid interface (ALI) preserves the physical and
chemical characteristics of aerosol particles. Although frequently described as being a more …
