Poorly soluble particles of low toxicity (PSP), such as CB, TiO2 and coal mine dust, have
been demonstrated to cause lung cancer in rodents, being most pronounced in rats …

Chronic inhalation of coal dust can cause several lung disorders, including simple
coalworkers pneumoconiosis (CWP), progressive massive fibrosis (PMF), chronic bronchitis …

Local mussels, Perna viridis, were transplanted from a relatively clean site to various
polluted sites in Hong Kong. After a 30-day field exposure, different antioxidant parameters …

Antioxidant systems were studied in the freshwater bivalve Unio tumidus transplanted from a
control site to four different contaminated areas, in order to study the biological response …

We tested the hypotheses that catalase activity is modified by CAT single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs)(-262;-844), and by their interactions with oxidant exposures (coal …

Exposure to particles in industry and mining and from accidental anthropogenic sources
constitutes an ongoing threat. Most recently nanoparticles arising from advances in …

In the process of energy generation, particulate matter (PM) emissions derived from coal
combustion expose humans to serious occupational diseases, which are associated with …

This study describes the quantitative relationships between early pulmonary responses and
the estimated lungburden or cumulative exposure of respirable-quartz or coal mine dust …

Novel protocols were developed to accurately quantify reduced (GSH), oxidized (GSSG) and
total (tGSH) glutathione in biological samples using molecular speciated isotope dilution …

The mRNA expression profile of some antioxidant genes in skin, gills, livers, and muscles of
Siganus canaliculatus and Epinephelus morio was used as an indicator of petroleum …
