Pulmonary surfactant is a critical component of lung function in healthy individuals. It
functions in part by lowering surface tension in the alveoli, thereby allowing for breathing …

Mounting data suggest that environmental pollution due to airborne fine particles (AFPs)
increases the occurrence and severity of respiratory virus infection in humans. However, it is …

Elemental carbon is often found in ambient particulate matter (PM), and it contributes to the
PM's oxidative potential (OP) and thus poses great health concerns. Previous review articles …

Contaminant-bearing fine biochar particles (FBPs) may exert significantly different toxicity
profiles from their contaminant-free counterparts. While the role of FBPs in promoting …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is a well-known air pollutant threatening public
health. Studies has confirmed that long-term exposure to the particles could reduce the …

Many researchers have considered air quality degradation due to the emission of fine
particles from industrialized and urban areas during recent decades. Recently, the …

Oxidative stress is usually considered to be a common mechanism by which particulate
matter (PM) exposure induces adverse effects. However, the further biological events such …

Fine particulate matter≤ 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) air pollution is regarded as one of the prominent
