1. Diesel exhaust and wood smoke : mechanisms, inflammation and intervention
Sammanfattning : Background Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is associated with increased respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Diesel engine exhaust (DE) and wood combustion are major contributors to ambient air pollution and adverse health effects. LÄS MER
2. Characterisation of the Microbial Community in Indoor Environments: a Chemical-Analytical Approach
Sammanfattning : Inhalation of airborne microorganisms and their toxic components and products may induce a wide spectrum of acute and chronic airway manifestations. The study describes important capabilities of chemical marker analysis in defining human exposure to microorganisms in indoor environments. LÄS MER
3. Effects of cigarettes, e-cigarettes and Swedish snus on vascular function
Sammanfattning : Cigarette smoking is considered one of the leading causes of preventable morbidity and premature death worldwide. A large portion of this is attributable to cardiovascular disease such as ischemic heart disease and stroke. LÄS MER
