Oxidative interactions of synthetic lung epithelial lining fluid with metal-containing particulate matter
74
TL;DR: It is predicted that ROFA would initiate significant oxidation of lung lining fluids after in vivo exposure and that AA, GSH, and lipid concentrations of these fluids are important determinants of this oxidation.

Abstract: Epidemiology studies show association of morbidity and mortality with exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM). Metals present in PM may catalyze oxidation of important lipids and proteins p...

Air pollution and health.
TL;DR: The evidence for adverse effects on health of selected air pollutants is discussed, and it is unclear whether a threshold concentration exists for particulate matter and ozone below which no effect on health is likely.

PM2.5 induces Nrf2-mediated defense mechanisms against oxidative stress by activating PIK3/AKT signaling pathway in human lung alveolar epithelial A549 cells.
TL;DR: PM2.5-induced ROS may function as signaling molecules to activate Nrf2-mediated defenses, such as HO-1 expression, against oxidative stress induced by PM2.

Oxidative stress induced by zero-valent iron nanoparticles and Fe(II) in human bronchial epithelial cells.
TL;DR: The role of reactive oxidants produced during Fe( II) oxidation in cytotoxicity and internal ROS production is supported by experiments in which cell damage was limited by the addition of ligands that prevented Fe(II) oxidation and by the absence of cell damage when the nanoparticles were oxidized prior to exposure.
Health Outcomes of Exposure to Biological and Chemical Components of Inhalable and Respirable Particulate Matter

TL;DR: This review justifies the importance of each or synergistic effects of the biological and chemical constituents of PM on health and provides information that informs policy on the establishment of exposure limits for PM composition metrics rather than the existing exposure limits of the total mass of PM.

Determination of glutathione and glutathione disulfide using glutathione reductase and 2-vinylpyridine
TL;DR: It is reported here that 2-vinylpyridine is a much better reagent for the derivitization of glutathione, and it is demonstrated that the total glutATHione concentration in mouse plasma is substantially higher than generally reported and that glutathion disulfide constitutes less than 30% of the totalglutathione present.

Determination of glutathione and glutathione disulfide in biological samples.
TL;DR: 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB)-GSSG reductase recycling assay for total glutathione is a specific, sensitive, rapid, and reliable procedure, however, because the method depends on an accurate standard curve, appropriate standards containing the protein precipitating agent are essential.

Acute respiratory effects of particulate air pollution
Douglas W. Dockery,C. A. Pope +1 more
TL;DR: In the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, several episodes of extreme air pollution focused attention on the potential for adverse health effects of air pollution, and the increased mortality associated with such episodes provided the first quantitative measure of the adverse effects ofAir pollution.

Air pollution and daily mortality: a review and meta analysis.
TL;DR: A detailed examination of data from Philadelphia showed that control for season and weather was adequate for removing all long-term seasonal and subseasonal patterns from the mortality data, and that using a very flexible nonlinear fit to the weather factors did not disturb the association with TSP.

Review of epidemiological evidence of health effects of particulate air pollution
TL;DR: Recent epidemiological evidence supports the hypothesis that respirable particulate air pollution is an important risk factor for respiratory disease and cardiopulmonary mortality.
