• Oxidative Stress and Air Pollution Exposure (2011, background): “…toxicity in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, ozone, oxides of nitrogen, and suspended particulates all share a common property of being potent oxidants, either through direct effects on lipids and proteins or indirectly through the activation of intracellular oxidant pathways [23–25].”
• A review on the human health impact of airborne particulate matter. (2015, background): “Particles smaller than 1 μm in general behave similar to gasmolecules andwill therefore penetrate down to the alveoli (deposition by diffusion forces), and can translocate further into the cell tissue and/or circulation system (Valavanidis et al., 2008).”
• Outdoor Particulate Matter Exposure and Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2014, background): “5 includes a higher proportion of mutagenic species (Buschini et al. 2001; Valavanidis et al. 2008), many of which are products of combustion (Brauer et al.”

• The Adverse Effects of Air Pollution on the Nervous System (2012, background): “For toxicological screening studies, more refined approaches, for example, the use of nanosensors to detect ROS generation by NPs will emerge with time [32, 142].”
• Systematic review and meta-analysis of the adverse health effects of ambient PM2.5 and PM10 pollution in the Chinese population. (2015, background): “airways of the respiratory tract and can reach the alveoli, where it is effectively retained in the lung parenchyma (Valavanidis et al., 2008).”
