Cardiovascular health risk posed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and ultrafine particles

چکیده
Escalating air pollution is contributing to increased cardiovascular health problems currently witnessed in the world. Cardiac diseases such as ischaemic heart disease and strokes account for 80% of ambient air pollution-related early deaths [1]. Additionally, it is estimated that about 3 million deaths and 85 million disability adjusted live years (DALYs) resulted from particulate matter of ambient air pollution in 2012 [1]. Ambient air pollution has been on the rapid increase in most part of the world due to industrialization, urbanization, and motorization [1].

Quinones and Aromatic Chemical Compounds in Particulate Matter Induce Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Implications for Ultrafine Particle Toxicity
Particulate pollutants cause adverse health effects through the generation of oxidative stress. A key question is whether these effects are mediated by the particles or their chemical compounds. In this article we show that aliphatic, aromatic, and polar organic compounds, fractionated from diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), exert differential toxic effects in RAW 264.7 cells. Cellular analyses s...
متن کاملComparative gene responses to collected ambient particles in vitro: endothelial responses.
Epidemiologic studies associate exposure to ambient particulate matter (APM) with increased cardiovascular mortality. Since both pulmonary inflammation and systemic circulation of ultrafine particles are hypothesized as initiating cardiovascular effects, we examined responses of potential target cells in vitro. Human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) were exposed to 10 μg/ml fine and ultrafine AP...
متن کاملA Systematic Review on the Effects of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons on Cardiometabolic Impairment
BACKGROUND Various epidemiological studies have shown that exposure to environmental pollutants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) might increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and their risk factors. This study aims to systematically review the association of PAH exposure with metabolic impairment. METHODS Data were collected by searching for relevant studies in in...
متن کاملHealth risk assessment of heavy metals, BTEX and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the workplace in a secondary oil re-refining factory
The present study aimed to evaluate the health risk of heavy metals (iron, zinc, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, lead, and mercury), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the workplace in a secondary oil re-refining factory. In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, samples were collected and analyzed using the NIOSH 1501 method at eight sa...
متن کاملUltrafine particulate pollutants induce oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage.
The objectives of this study were to determine whether differences in the size and composition of coarse (2.5-10 micro m), fine (< 2.5 microm), and ultrafine (< 0.1 microm) particulate matter (PM) are related to their uptake in macrophages and epithelial cells and their ability to induce oxidative stress. The premise for this study is the increasing awareness that various PM components induce p...
