POTENTIAL ROLE OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS AS MEDIATORS OF CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS FROM COMBUSTION PARTICLES

Potential role of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as mediators of cardiovascular effects from combustion particles

Abstract Air pollution is the most important environmental risk factor for disease and premature death, and exposure to combustion particles from vehicles is a major contributor.Human epidemiological studies combined with experimental studies strongly suggest that exposure to combustion particles may enhance the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
