Particulate matter (PMs) of different origins can cause diverse health effects. Here, a
homemade box was used to facilitate real-time measurements of breath-borne volatile …

Ambient inhalable particulate matter (PM) is a serious health concern worldwide, but
especially so in China where high PM concentrations affect huge populations. Atmospheric …

Background Air pollutant exposure negatively affects human health; however, the molecular
mechanisms causing disease remain largely unclear. Objectives To explore the effects of …

Breath-borne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been increasingly studied as non-
invasive biomarkers in both medical diagnosis and environmental health research …

Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) can promote chronic diseases through the fundamental
mechanism of inflammation; however, systemic information is lacking on the inflammatory …

Airborne fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) has been closely related with a variety of lung
diseases. Although some modes of action (eg oxidative stress, inflammations) have been …

OBJECTIVE: Air-borne particulates from different sources could have different
physicochemical properties and inflammatory potentials. This study aims to characterize the …

Exposure to air pollution can induce oxidative stress, inflammation and adverse health
effects. To understand how seasonal and chemical variations drive health impacts, we …

Atmospheric aerosol contamination has caused widespread concern about human and
environmental health. However, research about VOCs as an important precursor of …

The health effects of airborne particulate matter (PM) are likely to be strongly influenced by
its components. The relationship between the composition of PM and its biological effects …
