Developments in nanotechnology are leading to a rapid proliferation of new materials that
are likely to become a source of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) to the environment …

Nanotechnology is an emerging science involving manipulation of matter at the nanometer
scale. Due to concerns over nanomaterial risks, there has been a dramatic increase in …

Background There is a growing body of epidemiologic literature reporting associations
between atmospheric pollutants and reproductive outcomes, particularly birth weight and …

Background Biomarkers of systemic inflammation have been associated with risk of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objectives We aimed to clarify associations of …

Background Interest in the health effects of particulate matter (PM) has focused on
identifying sources of PM, including biomass burning, power plants, and gasoline and diesel …

Since the mid‐1990s, the number of studies linking air pollutants to low birthweight, small for
gestational age, preterm birth and cardiac birth defects has grown steadily. This MiniReview …

Motor vehicles are the dominant source of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particulate matter (PM),
and certain air toxics (eg, benzene, 1, 3-butadiene) in urban areas. On roadways, motor …

In this study, two different types of assays were used to quantitatively measure the redox
activity of PM and to examine its intrinsic toxicity: 1) in vitro exposure to rat alveolar …

The number of ultrafine particles in urban air may be more health relevant than the usually
measured mass of particles smaller than 2.5 or 10μm. Epidemiological studies typically …

Background Epidemiologic studies have shown associations between asthma outcomes
and outdoor air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter mass< 2.5 μm in …
