Air pollution is an important public health topic, as it causes irreversible damage to the environment and health. Exposure to particulate matter and/or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) found in air pollution reveals associations between DNA damage in airway cells and cancer development. The PAHs activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which regulates xenobiotic metabolizing …
Air pollution today is the subject of much research directly related to human health. There is much data suggesting that air pollution causes many cardiorespiratory diseases among other factors and that it can affect women much more than men. Among the main pollutants studied, diesel exhaust particles (DEP) have a great ability to mimic estrogen hormones, and can act in the metabolic path…
Anthracosis is a lung injury characterized by pigmentation of the cells by endocyte carbon particles and may cause diffuse pulmonary fibrosis. It is believed that this disease is a result of damage to different areas of the alveolar epithelium, resulting from dysregulation of cellular homeostasis, followed by aberrant scar healing and inadequate repair of epithelial damage, and one hypoth…
For ethical and regulatory reasons, in vitro tests for scoring potential toxicities of cosmetics are essential. Despite estimates indicating that sensitivity to fragrance products is common, the frequency of mucosal symptoms elicited by exposure to these products in the general population is unknown. Here, we will use a co-culture of BEAS-2B and macrophage cells to study effects of fragra…

Air pollution is one of the main public health concerns today. Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) has been shown to enter biological pathways and directly and indirectly affect the nervous system, leading to the development of neurodegenerative diseases through neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and activation of microglia. Neurobehavioral changes have also been reported in mice exposed to …
Exposure to air pollution is a growing global concern, given its association witha variety of adverse impacts on human health. The interaction between lungepithelial cells, immune system cells, and air pollutants, such as dieselparticulate matter (DEP), triggers a cascade of molecular events that cancompromise normal cellular function and lead to adverse health consequences.These effects …
Air pollution is the one of main factors of adversities in human respiratory health. Among the pollutants most present in air pollution, diesel particulate matter (DPM) has the great ability to adsorb substances such as heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These PAHs have an ability to adjust estrogen hormones that can act on the estrogen hormone pathway, as well as b…
Anthracosis is the black discoloration of the lungs and tracheobronchial tree caused by deposition of inhaled carbon particles. There is a hypothesis that this condition is the result of epithelial damage in different areas, leading to aberrant scarring and fibrosis in the lungs and bronchial wall. Recent evidence indicates that particulate air pollution plays an important role in the est…
