Background: Outdoor air pollution is a known lung carcinogen, but research investigating
the association between particulate matter (PM) and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers is limited …

Generation of oxidatively damaged DNA by particulate matter (PM) is hypothesized to occur
via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. We investigated this …

Microplastics in the environment produced by decomposition of globally increasing waste
plastics have become a dominant component of both water and air pollution. To examine the …

Exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM) is associated with pulmonary and
cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The mechanisms of PM-induced health effects are …

Epidemiological and clinical studies have linked exposure to particulate matter (PM) to
adverse health effects, which may be registered as increased mortality and morbidity from …

Air pollution, especially airborne particulate matter (PM), is associated with an increase in
both morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease, although the underlying …

Particulate air pollution (PM) is an important environmental health risk factor for many
different diseases. This is indicated by numerous epidemiological studies on associations …

Background The mechanisms governing the correlation between exposure to ultrafine
particles and the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease remain unknown. Ultrafine …

Background This study explores and characterizes cell cycle alterations induced by urban
PM2. 5 in the human epithelial cell line BEAS-2B, and elucidates possible mechanisms …

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family includes the p38 kinases, which consist
of highly conserved proline-directed serine-threonine protein kinases that are activated in …
