Abstract:<strong>Background</strong><br />Poor air and mask quality in the work environment increase the risks of inflammation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, ongoing oxidative stress, and superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) levels in the airways. The study aimed to investigate the effect of the Nephrolepis exaltata - Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (NE-HRS) combination herbal mask on the airways, as measured by ROS and SOD3 levels in the nasal wash of textile industry workers.<br /><br /><… Show more
“…This is consistent with a study of textile factory workers who were exposed to chemicals in the painting process, which found that SOD3 levels decreased when exposed for a longer time (chronic). (19) Furthermore, other studies (20) have shown that short-term exposure to air pollution not only a risk for oxidative damage but also elicits adaptive responses. This condition occurs as an adaptive response by activating a rapid bone marrow response or an early response to cellular signals for gene expression.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
