Thermal comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ) of educational buildings can affect students'
academic performance and well-being and are closely related to ventilation energy …

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 …

Nanomaterials, especially silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), are used in a rapidly increasing
number of commercial products. Accordingly, the hazards associated with human exposure …

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

Combustion emissions account for over half of the fine particle (PM2. 5) air pollution and
most of the primary particulate organic matter. Human exposure to combustion emissions …

Environmental risk factors, including noise, air pollution, chemical agents, ultraviolet
radiation (UVR) and mental stress have a considerable impact on human health. Oxidative …

Particulates are small particles of solid or liquid suspended in liquid or air. In vitro studies
show that particles generate reactive oxygen species, deplete endogenous antioxidants …

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

Air pollution is associated with morbidity and mortality induced by respiratory diseases.
However, the mechanisms therein involved are not yet fully clarified. Thus, we tested the …

Air pollutants have, and continue to be, major contributing factors to chronic diseases and
mortality, subsequently impacting public health. Chronic diseases include: chronic …
