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

Ambient air pollution (AAP) is recognized a cardiovascular risk factor and lipid profile
dysregulation seems to be one of the potential mediators involved. However, results from …

Abstract Fine particles (PM 2.5) are known to increase risks of cardiovascular diseases, but it
is unclear how they affect plasma lipid levels. In this study, we examined the associations …

Particulate-filtering respirators (PFRs) have been recommended as a practical personal-
level intervention to protect individuals from the health effects of particulate matter exposure …

Objective Sulfur dioxide (SO 2) plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis of
cardiovascular system. This study was aimed to investigate cardioprotective effects of SO 2 …

Background Dyslipidemia is a key factor causing cardio cerebrovascular diseases, and the
total cholesterol (TC) is an important lipid indicator among them. Studies have shown that …

In many regions of the world, the winter period is a time of poor air quality, due primarily to
the increased use of individual and district heating systems. As a consequence, the …

Ambient air pollution is one of the major global risk factors for cardiovascular health, and
coagulation changes have been proposed to mediate this risk. Plasminogen activator …

Urban areas are anthropogenic sources of particulate matter emissions and gaseous
pollutants, which can have negative impacts on human health and life. In this study, we …

A growing body of literature has attempted to characterize how traffic-related air pollution
(TRAP) affects molecular and subclinical biological processes in ways that could lead to …
