Air pollution is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate components, each of which has
detrimental effects on human health. While the composition of air pollution varies greatly …

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 …

The effect of particulate matter (PM) on health increases with exposure duration but the
change from short to longer term is not well studied. We examined the exposure to PM …

The adverse health effects of air pollution have long been recognised; however, there is less
awareness that the majority of the morbidity and mortality caused by air pollution is due to its …

Epidemiological research has taught us a great deal about the health effects of airborne
particulate matter (PM), particularly cardiorespiratory effects of combustion-related particles …

Background Artisanal petroleum refining operations have been known to produce a
significant volume of air pollutants. The highest concentration of pollutants is generated …

Epidemiological studies suggest a correlation between increased airborne particulate matter
(PM) and adverse health effects. The mechanisms of PM-health effects are believed to …

Background Air pollution is a leading contributor to premature mortality worldwide and is
often represented by particulate matter (PM), a key contributor to its harmful health effects …

Air pollution is a significant cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Although the epidemiologic association between air pollution exposures and exacerbation …

Inflammation and the coagulation cascade are considered to be the potential mechanisms of
ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure-induced adverse cardiovascular events. Tumor …
