Microplastic particles are ubiquitous in the environment, from the air we breathe to the food
we eat. The key question with respect to these particles is to what extent they cause risks for …

Exposure to ambient air pollution is a well-established determinant of health and disease.
The Lancet Commission on pollution and health concludes that air pollution is the leading …

Understanding the multidimensionality of microplastics is essential for a realistic assessment
of the risks these particles pose to the environment and human health. Here, we capture …

Epidemiological studies have found strong associations between air pollution and
respiratory effects including development and/or exacerbation of asthma and chronic …

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 …

Atmospheric PM pollution from traffic comprises not only direct emissions but also non-
exhaust emissions because resuspension of road dust that can produce high human …

Apoptosis is an evolutionary conserved homeostatic process involved in distinct
physiological processes including organ and tissue morphogenesis, development and …

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 …

Environmental pollution is a major cause of global mortality and burden of disease. All
chemical pollution forms together may be responsible for up to 12 million annual excess …

Given the absence of a definitive threshold for atmospheric particulate matter (PM)-induced
adverse health effects and the evidence of road traffic as a main contributor to PM-urban …
