Ambient PM and specific sources increase inflammatory cytokine responses to stimulators and reduce sensitivity to inhibitors.

Article Synopsis
- Ambient exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) is linked to increased health risks, raising the question of how PM sensitizes the immune response in children.
- A study involving 277 children investigated the effects of neighborhood PM on inflammatory responses, revealing that higher PM levels correlate with stronger cytokine reactions, particularly from vehicle emissions and dust.
- Longitudinal findings indicated that residential PM exposure decreased sensitivity to anti-inflammatory agents, but PM levels did not appear to affect biomarkers of low-grade inflammation.
Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and greenness in relation to pulmonary tuberculosis in China: A nationwide modelling study.

Previous studies have attempted to clarify the relationship between the occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and exposure to air pollutants. However, evidence from multi-centres, particularly at the national level, is scarce, and no study has examined the modifying effect of greenness on air pollution-TB associations. In this study, we examined the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants (PM p.

Article Synopsis
- Physical activity has beneficial effects on cognitive function while air pollution has negative impacts, and their effects may influence each other.
- The study tracked 90 healthy young adults' exposure to air pollution and their physical activity levels over several sessions, assessing cognitive function through tests and EEG signals.
- Findings indicate that short-term exposure to air pollution negatively affected executive function, but engaging in more physical activity can help counteract this damage, especially in polluted environments.
Health impact and related cost of ambient air pollution in Tehran.

Ambient air pollution represents one of the biggest environmental risks to health. In this study, we estimated the avoidable mortality burden attributable to ambient air pollution in Tehran, and derived the economic impact associated with these health effects. Using PM data from ground-level air pollution measurements in Tehran, we estimated PM exposure for 349 neighborhoods in Tehran, by the Environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMAP-CE).

Particulate matter (PM) varies in chemical composition and mass concentration based on location, source, and particle size. This study sought to evaluate the and toxicity of coarse (PM) and fine (PM) PM samples collected at 5 diverse sites within California. Coarse and fine PM samples were collected simultaneously at 2 rural and 3 urban sites within California during the summer.
