Possible mechanisms of the cardiovascular effects of inhaled particles: systemic translocation and prothrombotic effects.

abstract：:Both arsenite and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) are known human carcinogens. Studies on the mode-of-action of arsenite indicate that it can also act as co-carcinogen or as a cancer promoter, and that it can facilitate progression of cancers. Some studies on development of lung cancers have suggested a synergism between arsenit...
