MECHANISM OF CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASES CAUSED BY AIR POLLUTION / 现代医院

ABSTRACT

Lots of evidence show a correlation between air pollution and chronic respiratory diseases, of which the effect of particulate matter is the most concerned.It is the current research hotspot that respiratory diseases in both children and adults are closely related with atmospheric pollution levels.The influence mechanisms of atmos-pheric pollution on respiratory diseases include oxidative stress, inflammation, genetic damage, etc.This paper made a review of the latest advances s on the pathogenesis of chronic respiratory diseases caused by atmospheric particulates PM2.5 .
