In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on “Air Pollution and
Cardiovascular Disease” concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution …

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 past several years have seen the accumulation of evidence demonstrating that tissue
injury induced by diverse toxicants is due not only to their direct effects on target tissues but …

Nanoparticle emissions from road vehicles have been studied extensively in the recent past
due to their dominant contribution towards the total airborne particle number concentrations …

Epidemiological and clinical studies have linked exposure to particulate matter (PM) to
adverse health effects, which may be registered as increased mortality and morbidity from …

Inflammation is considered to play a central role in a diverse range of disease outcomes
associated with exposure to various types of inhalable particulates. The initial mechanisms …

Particulates are small particles of solid or liquid suspended in liquid or air. In vitro studies
show that particles generate reactive oxygen species, deplete endogenous antioxidants …

Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air
pollution increases the risk of cardiovascular events but the exact mechanism by which PM …

There is increasing evidence suggesting links between exposure to environmental toxins
and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). In this review, we summarize the …

This review reports the role of oxidative stress in impairing the function of lung exposed to
particulate matter (PM). PM constitutes a heterogeneous mixture of various types of particles …
