Recently, many researchers paid more attentions to the association between air pollution
and respiratory system disease. In the past few years, levels of smog have increased …

Due to abundant biomass and eco-friendliness, biochar is exemplified as one of the most
promising candidates to mediate the degradation of environmental contaminants. Recently …

Soluble transition metals in particulate matter (PM) can generate reactive oxygen species in
vivo by redox cycling, leading to oxidative stress and adverse health effects. Most metals …

Although most organic matter (OM) in soil is mineralized by microorganisms, the
nonmicrobial processes, eg, Fenton reactions and photo-degradation, strongly contribute to …

Reactive oxygen or nitrogen species (ROS, RNS) and oxidative stress in the respiratory
system increase the production of mediators of pulmonary inflammation and initiate or …

Once thought of in terms of bioenergetics, mitochondria are now widely accepted as both the
orchestrator of cellular health and the gatekeeper of cell death. The pulmonary disease field …

Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) are defined as organic free radicals
stabilized on or inside particles. They are persistent because of the protection by the …

Air pollution is associated with increased cardiovascular and pulmonary morbidity and
mortality. The mechanisms of air pollution‐induced health effects involve oxidative stress …

Air pollution has been considered a hazard to human health. In the past decades, many
studies highlighted the role of ambient airborne particulate matter (PM) as an important …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), substances with strong activity generated by oxygen during
electron transfer, play a significant role in the decomposition of organic matter in various …
