Objectives Due to their small size, ultrafine particles (UFP) are believed to exert higher
toxicity than larger particles. As numerous studies on health effects of UFP have been …

Large amounts of epidemiological evidence have confirmed the atmospheric particulate
matter (PM 2.5) exposure was positively correlated with the morbidity and mortality of …

Poor air quality is globally the largest environmental health risk. Epidemiological studies
have uncovered clear relationships of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) with …

Abstracts Background Studies have linked gaseous air pollutants to multiple health effects
via inflammatory pathways. Several major inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive …

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between main air pollutants and all
cancer mortality by performing a meta-analysis. We searched PubMed, EMBASE (a …

Air pollution of anthropogenic origin is largely from the combustion of biomass (eg, wood),
fossil fuels (eg, cars and trucks), incinerators, landfills, agricultural activities and tobacco …

Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is associated with millions of premature
deaths annually. Oxidative stress through overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

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

Particulate matter (PM) induces oxidative stress in vivo, leading to adverse health effects.
Oxidative potential (OP) of PM is increasingly studied as a relevant metric for health impact …

Air pollution remains a major factor for adverse health effects and premature death
worldwide. Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5), mainly …
