Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with a wide range of adverse
health effects, but it is still unclear how particles from various transport modes differ in terms …

Inhaled nanoparticles constitute a potential health hazard due to their size‐dependent lung
deposition and large surface to mass ratio. Exposure to high levels contributes to the risk of …

Background Acute phase response (APR) is characterized by a change in concentration of
different proteins, including C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A (SAA) that can be linked …

Background Diesel exhaust is carcinogenic and exposure to diesel particles cause health
effects. We investigated the toxicity of diesel exhaust particles designed to have varying …

Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) pollution should be taken seriously because it is an
extensive environmental and occupational health concern. Exploring early effect biomarkers …

An increasing number of epidemiological studies have examined the association between
ultrafine particles (UFP) and imbalanced autonomic control of the heart, a potential …

Background: Exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) has been associated with
increased risks of respiratory diseases, but the biological mechanisms are not yet fully …

The comet assay is a simple technique for measurements of low levels of DNA damage and
repair in single cells. However, there is variation in background levels of DNA damage in …

The comet assay is a popular assay in biomonitoring studies. DNA strand breaks (or
unspecific DNA lesions) are measured using the standard comet assay. Oxidative stress …

Biodiesel fuels are alternatives to petrodiesel, especially in the transport sector where they
have lower carbon footprint. Notwithstanding the environmental benefit, biodiesel fuels may …
