Background: Although many short-term toxic effects of PM2.5 on respiratory system have been to date identified,the long-term influences and underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
It has been reported that particulate matters can aggravate morbidity of patients suffering from bone and joint diseases,e.g.arthritis.However,the molecular mechanism is still elusive thus far.
Epidemiologic and experimental studies indicate the toxicological effects of air pollution and support an association between fine ambient particulate matter <2.5μm(PM2.5)exposure and both lipid and g
Background: As an important constituent of atmospheric particulate matter(PM),ultrafine black carbon(uBC)could potentially cross blood-brain barrier into brain and cause damages to central nervous sys
