The sentiment that woodsmoke, being a natural substance, must be benign to humans is still
sometimes heard. It is now well established, however, that wood-burning stoves and …

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 …

During the first outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic the population, focusing primarily on
the risk of infection, was generally inattentive to the quality of indoor air. Spain, and the city …

With the advent of nanotechnology, the prospects for using engineered nanomaterials with
diameters of< 100 nm in industrial applications, medical imaging, disease diagnoses, drug …

We reviewed the main epidemiological studies that evaluate the respiratory effects of indoor
air pollutants quantitatively in industrialised countries. Consistent results support short-term …

Evidence continues to emerge showing that poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) can cause illness
requiring absence from schools, and can cause acute health symptoms that decrease …

Rationale: Unprecedented pollution control actions during the Bei**g Olympics provided a
quasi-experimental opportunity to examine biologic responses to drastic changes in air …

The purpose of this article is to review indoor air pollution factors that can modify asthma
severity, particularly in inner-city environments. While there is a large literature linking …

Indoor particles represent a combination of outdoor-originating particles, indoor-emitted
particles and indoor secondary organic aerosol (SOA). It is important to distinguish the …

Studies have shown high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) in schools. Further
insights into the sources and the composition of these particles are needed. During school …
