Environmental Pollutants

12/01/2002 - "Ultimately, our knowledge of haplotype patterns, rather than single variant sites, of perhaps several hundred genes will likely be helpful in finding associations between genotype and any multiplex phenotype (e.g., complex diseases including cancer, and/or toxicity of pharmaceutical agents or environmental pollutants)."
01/01/2008 - "Since MN in peripheral blood lymphocytes are recognized as a predictive biomarker of cancer risk within a population of healthy subjects, the genotoxic risk of occupational exposure to various indoor environmental pollutants during road tunnel construction cannot be excluded by this biomonitoring study."
11/01/2002 - "In this study, the authors evaluated the risk of respiratory cancer related to environmental pollutants among a population that resided near a sewage plant in Prato, Italy. "
11/19/2015 - "Exposure to environmental pollutants may alter proangiogenic ability and promotes tumor growth. "
05/01/2015 - "In the last decades, the mortality from malignant liver tumors increased sharply in Romania, where both hepatitis viruses and environmental pollutants are known to be highly prevalent. "

09/01/1995 - "These findings may help to link exposure to environmental pollutants to such biologic effects as increased susceptibility to broncho-pulmonary disease or facilitated sensitization against aeroallergens. "
04/01/2013 - "Organotypic culture of human primary bronchial epithelial cells is a useful in vitro system to study normal biological processes and lung disease mechanisms, to develop new therapies, and to assess the biological perturbations induced by environmental pollutants. "
01/30/2014 - "In silico modeling can be used as a valuable tool to characterize the biopharmaceutics and pharmacodynamics of inhaled medicines, or assess risks associated with inhaled environmental pollutants for patients with pulmonary diseases. "
06/01/2013 - "Common lung conditions: environmental pollutants and lung disease."
06/01/2000 - "Do urban environmental pollutants exacerbate childhood lung diseases?"

06/01/2003 - "The current comprehensive study suggests that environmental pollutants may account for immunosuppression, increased susceptibility to infections, limb malformations and possible decline in amphibian populations from Bermuda."
08/01/2002 - "Environmental metal contamination and subsequent infection by pathogenic microbes points necessitate studies on the interaction of environmental pollutants on the immune system."
03/01/2000 - "Despite this, such studies have increased in size and number, and have generated novel etiologic hypotheses, ranging from environmental pollutants to viral infections."
01/01/2015 - "Phytochemicals help plants to survive environmental stresses, protect plants from microbial infections and environmental pollutants, provide them with a defense from herbivorous organisms and attract natural predators of such organisms, as well as lure pollinators and other symbiotes of these plants. "
01/01/2015 - "The most studied environmental influences acting on epigenome are diet, infections, wasting, child care, smoking and environmental pollutants, in particular endocrine disrupters (EDs). "

02/01/2011 - "Data from this small study are consistent with the role of environmental pollutants on lung function and inflammation."
09/01/2006 - "This study indicates that airways of O3-tolerant rats exhibited a low level of chronic inflammation, rendering the lungs more susceptible to other environmental pollutants such as 1-NN. "
10/15/2001 - "Overall, our studies illustrate a potential mechanism by which RNS may promote (oxidative) injury by environmental pollutants in association with inflammation."
10/01/2013 - "Possible pathways include complex interrelationships between chronic low-grade systemic inflammation and oxidative stress as well as shared risk factors such as age, cigarette smoking, and environmental pollutants. "
06/01/2011 - "FCM of sputum samples can provide valuable information on inflammation and immunological response elements in the bronchial airways for both clinical diagnostic and research applications and can be a useful tool in inhalation toxicology for assessing health effects of inhaled environmental pollutants."

10/01/2001 - "Recent studies indicate strong evidence of a causal relationship between exposure to certain indoor environmental pollutants and development and/or exacerbation of asthma in susceptible individuals. "
10/01/2013 - "Novel epigenetic mechanisms have been evidenced in asthma and in response to the environmental pollutants, and point out genes like TSLP, which may link environmental pollution and asthma. "
02/01/2012 - "Residents of low-income multifamily housing can have elevated exposures to multiple environmental pollutants known to influence asthma. "
08/01/2011 - "These interventions included home visits by trained personnel to assess the level of and reduce adverse effects of indoor environmental pollutants, and educate households with an asthma client to reduce exposure to asthma triggers. "
09/01/2000 - "The incidence of childhood atopic responses including asthma has risen considerably in recent years, particularly within areas containing higher levels of environmental pollutants. "
