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 …

Bioremediation of contaminated soils has gained increasing interest in recent years as a low-
cost and environmentally friendly technology to clean soils polluted with anthropogenic …

Emissions from burning of biomass in the Amazon region have adverse effects on the
environment and human health. Herein, particulate matter (PM) emitted from biomass …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely distributed environmental toxicants
primarily formed during the incomplete combustion of organic materials (for example, coal …

This review examined the mutagenicity and genotoxicity associated with exposure to
outdoor air pollutants in Brazil. A search was performed on the Web of Science database …

Exposure to ambient air particles is associated with elevated levels of DNA strand breaks
(SBs) and endonuclease III, formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (FPG) and oxoguanine …

Air pollution and particulate matter (PM) are classified as carcinogenic to humans. Pollutants
evidence for public health concern include coarse (PM 10) and fine (PM 2.5) particles …

Ambient particulate matter (PM) has gained significant attention as an environmental risk
factor for human health. Although the association between ambient PM and micronucleus …

Humans are exposed to health-impairing air pollutants, especially children who are more
sensitive to cancer-causing toxins. This study described an area of reference for inhalable …

Biomonitoring of human populations exposed to chemical substances that can act as
potential mutagens or carcinogens, may enable the detection of damage and early disease …
