Early Responses of Neural Cells (U87) to Particulate Matter Exposure: Cell Viability and Cytokine Concentration

cell viability and cytokine production of human alveolar epithelial cells following exposure to sulphur dioxide

exposure to air pollutants is significantly associated with health risks ranging from bronchial reactivity to morbidity and mortality. however, the precise mechanisms are not always fully understood. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sulphur dioxide (so2) on cell viability and cytokine production of a549-human pulmonary epithelial cells. test atmospheres of so2 were genera...

Artificial neural network forecast application for fine particulate matter concentration using meteorological data

Most parts of the urban areas are faced with the problem of floating fine particulate matter. Therefore, it is crucial to estimate the amounts of fine particulate matter concentrations through the urban atmosphere. In this research, an artificial neural network technique was utilized to model the PM2.5 dispersion in Tehran City. Factors which are influencing the predicted value consi...

Exposure to Particulate Matter and its Health Impacts (an AirQ Approach)

Background & Aims of the Study: Recent studies indicated that particulate matter can have the lung irritation, chronic lung diseases, lung tissue, etc. The aim objective of this study was to assess the mortality associated with exposure to PM10 concentrations in Ilam, Iran, during 2013. Materials & Methods: PM10 data were taken from Ilam's ...

Association of Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter and Risk Factors of Non-Communicable Diseases in Children and Adolescents

Background: Risk factors of non-communicable disease (NCD) origin from early life, and exposure to environmental pollutant may be a predisposing factor. This study aimed to investigate the association of air quality index (AQI) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with some NCD risk factors in a sample of Iranian children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was con...
