In vitro studies suggest that reactive oxygen species contribute to the cardiopulmonary
toxicity of particulate air pollution. To evaluate the ability of particulate air pollution to promote …

The objectives of this study were (1) to determine whether short-term exposures to concentrated
air particles (CAPs) cause pulmonary inflammation in normal rats and rats with chronic …

The objective of this study was to determine whether short-term exposures to concentrated
ambient particles (CAPs) alter the morphology of small pulmonary arteries in normal rats and …

Short-term increases in ambient air pollution have been associated with an increased incidence
of acute cardiac events. We assessed the effect of inhalation exposure to concentrated …

It was shown previously that fumes generated from stainless steel (SS) welding induced more
pneumotoxicity and were cleared from the lungs at a slower rate than fumes collected from …

Epidemiological studies have reported a positive association of short-term increases in
ambient particulate matter (PM) with daily mortality and hospital admissions for cardiovascular …

It has been previously reported that both short- and long-lived reactive oxygen species (ROS)
are present on the surface of freshly generated fumes. The objective of this study was to …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether tumor necrosis factor (TNF) contributes
to airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN…

Epidemiological studies have reported increased morbidity in human populations following
inhalation of elevated levels of urban particulate matter. These responses are especially …

Mixing phenomena in a room temperature water bath, agitated by injecting air through a
straight circular nozzle fitted axially at the bottom of the vessel, were characterized by …
