Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Although investment in
drug discovery and development has been sky-rocketing, the number of approved drugs has …

Long-term ozone (O 3) exposure may lead to non-communicable diseases and increase
mortality risk. However, cohort-based studies are relatively rare, and inconsistent exposure …

Although it is well accepted that air pollution exposure exacerbates preexisting airway
disease, it has not been firmly established that long-term pollution exposure increases the …

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

Inhalation of metal (loid) s in ambient particulate matter (APM) represents a significant
exposure pathway to humans. Although exposure assessment associated with this pathway …

Well-documented air pollution episodes throughout recent history have led to deaths among
individuals with cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Although the components of air …

We review literature providing insights on health-related effects caused by inhalation of
ambient air particulate matter (PM) containing metals, emphasizing effects associated with in …

Background Air pollution is associated with respiratory symptoms, lung function decrements,
and hospitalizations. However, there is little information about the influence of air pollution …

Recent investigations on PM2. 5 constituents' effects in community residents have
substantially enhanced our knowledge on the impacts of specific components, especially the …

We assessed the interactions among the particulate matter (PM) components in generating
the reactive oxygen species (ROS) based on a dithiothreitol (DTT) assay. We started with the …
