Particulate matter (PM), an important component of air pollution, induces significant adverse
health effects. Many of the observed health effects caused by inhaled PM are associated …

Background: Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) formed from anthropogenic or biogenic
gaseous precursors in the atmosphere substantially contribute to the ambient fine particulate …

Microplastics have been observed in indoor and outdoor air. This raises concern for human
exposure, especially should they occur in small enough sizes, which if inhaled, reach the …

Abstract The Ojców National Park (ONP) is located nearby several currently operating, large
industrial centres, which can be sources of potentially toxic elements (PTE). Over the last two …

The enrichment of heavy metals in air-borne particulate matters poses a great threat to
health. In order to understand the mineralogical characteristics and sources of heavy metals …

In this work, the bioconcentration capacity of heavy metals Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in the moss
Leskea angustata Tayl., exposed under laboratory conditions was evaluated, and …

Objetivos Describir e interpretar las metodologías y resultados de los principales estudios
relacionados con el monitoreo de contaminación atmosférica en ciclistas. Métodos Se …

Abstract From 1990 until 2017, global air-pollution related mortality increased by 40%. Few
studies addressed the renal responses to ultrafine particulate [≤ 2.5 µm (PM2. 5)], including …

The in vitro genotoxic effects of organic and water-soluble fractions of airborne particulate
matter (PM10) with the cytokinesis blocked micronucleus (MN) test in human alveolar …

Chemical characterization of PM 2.5 and PM 10 is important to identify potential compounds
that induce biological responses that translate into cardio-respiratory health problems. This …
