While it may seem common knowledge that smoking is bad for your lungs, if and how ultrafine particles present in cigarette smoke impact the development and progression of lung cancer remains unclear.

These particles did not impact natural or cardiovascular mortality risk. Individuals faced a high risk for respiratory mortality 5 to 7 days after being exposed to ultrafine particle pollution ...

That is the key finding of our new research, published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials. Our study shows that high levels of ultrafine particles in the atmosphere over long periods of time are ...

There is concern that ultrafine particles (UFPs; particles with a diameter of less than 0.1 µm) can cause more health problems than larger particles. UFPs represent the smallest size fraction of ...

Exposure to ultrafine particles from traffic alters the expression of many genes in human olfactory mucosa cells, a new study shows. The study, led by the University of Eastern Finland, is the ...

Some other studies suggest that ultrafine particles can increase the risk of respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurological conditions, diabetes and pregnancy issues, says Daan van ...

Exposure to air pollution–derived ultrafine particles alters gene transcription by epigenetic mechanisms, a new study shows. The changes affected, for example, cellular survival. The study ...

Their study, published recently in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, finds that long-term exposure to the ultrafine particles known as UFPs — which are typically ...
