Time course of pulmonary burden in mice exposed to residual oil fly ash
Residual oil fly ash (ROFA) is a common pollutant in areas where oil is burned. This particulate matter (PM) with a broad distribution of particle diameters can be inhaled by human beings and putatively damage their respiratory system. Although some studies deal with cultured cells, animals, and even epidemiological issues, so far a comprehensive analysis of respiratory outcomes as a function o...
متن کاملResidual oil fly ash worsens pulmonary hyperreactivity in chronic allergic mice
BALB/c mice received saline (SAL groups) or ovalbumin (OVA groups) intraperitoneally (days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13). After 27 days, a burst of intratracheal OVA or SAL (days 40, 43 and 46) was performed. Animals were then divided into four groups (N=8, each) and intranasally instilled with saline (SAL-SAL and OVA-SAL) or residual oil fly ash (SAL-ROFA and OVA-ROFA). 24h later, total, initial a...
متن کاملAssociation of expired nitric oxide with urinary metal concentrations in boilermakers exposed to residual oil fly ash.
BACKGROUND Exposure to metal-containing particulate matter has been associated with adverse pulmonary responses. Metals in particulate matter are soluble, hence are readily recovered in urine of exposed individuals. This study investigated the association between urinary metal concentrations and the fractional concentration of expired nitric oxide (F(E)NO) in boilermakers (N = 32) exposed to re...
متن کاملSmoking status and occupational exposure affects oxidative DNA injury in boilermakers exposed to metal fume and residual oil fly ash.
Epidemiologic studies demonstrate increased cancer incidence among workers exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and metals, probably through cumulative oxidative DNA damage in response to carcinogens. Boilermakers are exposed to particulates of residual oil fly ash (ROFA) and metal fume that contain carcinogenic PAH and metals. We conducted a repeated-measures cohort study in boile...
متن کاملEpithelial injury induced by exposure to residual oil fly-ash particles: role of reactive oxygen species?
Exposure of animals to airborne particulates is associated with pulmonary injury and inflammation. In the studies described here, primary cultures of rat tracheal epithelial (RTE) cells were exposed to suspensions of residual oil fly ash (ROFA). ROFA exposure resulted in progressive cytotoxicity whereby the amount of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released was significantly greater at 24 h than at...
