The environmental soot and carbon blacks (CBs) cause many diseases in humans, but their
underlying mechanisms of toxicity are still poorly understood. Both are formed after the …

Particulate Matter (PM) emissions from gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, particularly
Particle Number (PN) emissions, have been studied intensively in both academia and …

Upper and lower respiratory infections are common in early childhood and may be
exacerbated by air pollution. We investigated short-term changes in ambient air pollutant …

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is primarily respiratory in nature, and as such,
there is interest in examining whether air pollution might contribute to disease susceptibility …

Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air
pollution increases the risk of cardiovascular events but the exact mechanism by which PM …

The lung is one of the most important organs exposed to environmental agents. People
spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, and risks to health may thus be greater from …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common airway disorder. In particular,
acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) can significantly reduce pulmonary function. The …

Advanced exhaust after-treatment devices for diesel vehicles are less effective in controlling
semivolatile species than the refractory PM fractions. This study investigates the oxidative …

A substantial proportion of airway disease's global burden is attributable to exposure to air
pollution. This study aimed to investigate the association between air pollution, assessed as …

Several factors, such as age and nutritional status, can affect the susceptibility to influenza
infections. Moreover, exposure to air pollutants, such as diesel exhaust (DE), has been …
