Role of different mechanisms in pro-inflammatory responses triggered by traffic-derived particulate matter in human bronchiolar epithelial cells

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2023
Background Traffic-derived particles are important contributors to the adverse health effects of ambient particulate matter (PM). In Nordic countries, mineral particles from road pavement and diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are important constituents of ...

Control of Environmental Noise [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Air Pollution Control Association, 1973
The article reviews the current state of knowledge of noise and how people respond to noise. Sources of community noise are discussed and existing federal legislation pertaining to noise is mentioned. Methods of reducing the noise impact on communities from aircraft, surface transportation, and industrial sites are presented. Interior noise in industry,

Approaches to teaching in environmental noise science [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This paper focuses on two key questions: (i) how universal are approaches to teaching and training in the area of science and practice of environmental noise management, and (ii) is it possible, practical or desirable to transfer training programmes from

Road tunnel-derived coarse, fine and ultrafine particulate matter: physical and chemical characterization and pro-inflammatory responses in human bronchial epithelial cells

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2022
Background Traffic particulate matter (PM) comprises a mixture of particles from fuel combustion and wear of road pavement, tires and brakes. In countries with low winter temperatures the relative contribution of mineral-rich PM from road abrasion may be

The importance of mineralogical composition for the cytotoxic and pro-inflammatory effects of mineral dust

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2022
Background Respirable mineral particles represent a potential health hazard in occupational settings and ambient air. Previous studies show that mineral particles may induce cytotoxicity and inflammatory reactions in vitro and in vivo and that the ...
