Long-term ambient fine particulate matter and DNA methylation in inflammation pathways.
PMID: Epigenetics. 2019 Dec 10:1-12. Epub 2019 Dec 10. PMID: 31822152 Abstract Title: Long-term ambient fine particulate matter and DNA methylation in inflammation pathways: results from the Sister Study. Abstract: Although underlying mechanisms of long-term exposure to air pollution and cardiovascular disease remain obscure, effects might partially act through changes in DNA methylation. We examined …
Fine particulate air pollution and human mortality: 25+ years of cohort studies.
PMID: Environ Res. 2019 Nov 14:108924. Epub 2019 Nov 14. PMID: 31831155 Abstract Title: Fine particulate air pollution and human mortality: 25+ years of cohort studies. Abstract: Much of the key epidemiological evidence that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution (PM) contributes to increased risk of mortality comes from survival studies of cohorts …

Inorganic particulate matter modulates non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae growth.
PMID: Environ Geochem Health. 2019 Dec 16. Epub 2019 Dec 16. PMID: 31845018 Abstract Title: Inorganic particulate matter modulates non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae growth: a link between chronic bacterial infection and geogenic particles. Abstract: Australian Aboriginal populations have unacceptably high rates of bronchiectasis. This disease burden is associated with high rates of detection of pathogenic bacteria, …
These findings suggest that air pollutants may contribute to the development of gestational hypertension.
PMID: Curr Med Sci. 2019 Dec ;39(6):1019-1028. Epub 2019 Dec 16. PMID: 31845236 Abstract Title: Adverse Effects of Exposure to Fine Particulate Matters and Ozone on Gestational Hypertension.

Maternal benzo[a]pyrene exposure compromised offspring oocyte maturation and quality.
PMID: Reprod Toxicol. 2019 Dec 21. Epub 2019 Dec 21. PMID: 31874190 Abstract Title: Maternal benzo[a]pyrene exposure is correlated with the meiotic arrest and quality deterioration of offspring oocytes in mice. Abstract: Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) in particulate matter that has a diameter of≤2.5 µm (PM2.5). Studies have demonstrated that BaP exposure …
