“…An important determinant of the acute inflammatory response appears to be the dose of bio-available transition metals (such as copper, vanadium, chromium, nickel, cobalt and iron), organic compounds (such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and biological fractions (such as endotoxins) [35,36]. The oxidative stress mediated by particulate matter (PM) may arise from: direct generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from the surface of soluble compounds; altered function of mitochondria or reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-oxidase; and activation of inflammatory cells capable of generating ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), as well as oxidative DNA damage [37,38].…”

“…Our previous studies have shown that particles in the coarse PM 2.5-10 fraction alter the phenotype and phagocytic capability of these cells. PM 2.5 assessed simultaneously had no effect on phagocytosis or oxidant generation (13,15). Similarly, host defenses of mice exposed to PM 2.5 and PM 2.5-10 were found to be altered by PM 2.5-10 but not PM 2.5 (21).…”

“…However, this effect on macrophages resides in the coarse particle fraction (2.5-10 µm) rather than in the fine fraction (14,15).…”

“…The exact constituents of PM air pollution that induce disease and the mechanisms involved are unknown. Studies to determine the components of PM that contribute to airway inflammation and irritation have been attempted (Bonner et al 1998;Donaldson and MacNee 2001;Soukup and Becker 2001;Boehlecke et al 2003). Aerodynamic size fractions of PM have been studied including coarse (PM 10−2.5 ) and fine (PM 2.5 ), and recently fine and submicrometer fractions (Pope 2000).…”

“…Aerodynamic size fractions of PM have been studied including coarse (PM 10−2.5 ) and fine (PM 2.5 ), and recently fine and submicrometer fractions (Pope 2000). Yet the coarse PM fraction remains recognized as being associated with significant adverse effects on the bronchiolar region of conducting airways that remains the primary site of asthma and associated airway inflammation (Monn and Becker 1999;Soukup and Becker 2001). Although bioaerosols have been identified and linked to adverse health effects, they have not been extensively studied for their prevalence in ambient PM.…”
