The association between air pollution and a wide-ranging spectrum of acute and chronic
disorders—including cardiovascular diseases—is widely acknowledged. Exposure to …

The health effects of ambient air pollution are well-described, but less is known about the
biological mechanisms mediating these health effects. In recent years, the hypothesis that …

Genetic susceptibility is likely to play a role in response to air pollution. Hence, gene-
environment interaction studies can be a tool for exploring the mechanisms and the …

Air pollution is associated with a broad range of adverse health effects, including mortality
and morbidity due to cardio‐and cerebrovascular diseases (CCVD), but the molecular …

A substantial proportion of disease risk for common complex disorders is attributable to
environmental exposures and pollutants. An appreciation of how environmental pollutants …

Air pollution is a global problem with far-reaching environmental impacts. Exposure has
been linked to a number of different adverse health effects. Understanding the impact of …

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution exerts significant adverse health effects in global
populations, particularly in developing countries with extensive air pollution. Understanding …

Air pollution is recognized as causal factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is
associated with multiple CVD risk factors. Substantial research effort has been invested in …

Ambient air pollution is recognised globally as a significant contributor to the burden of
cardiovascular diseases. The evidence from both human and animal studies supporting the …

Background Exposure to air particulate matter is known to elevate blood biomarkers of
inflammation and to increase cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. Major components of …
