The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models. (2003)
Report
Lightbody, J., Hutchison, G. R., Donaldson, K., & Stone, V. (2003). The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models

Particulate air pollution has been consistently linked with an increase in morbidity and mortality due to respiratory complications and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate which components of PM10 are important in driving... Read More about The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models..
