Diesel exhaust particles and macrophage function : relevance to COPD

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Atmospheric pollution is a global problem with a significant health risk. For example, inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEP), a major component of atmospheric pollution, increases the incidence of exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). DEP comprise a carbon core with adsorbed chemical compounds, metals and endotoxin. Inhaled DEP deposit in the lung and are targets for m...
