Particulate Matter Physicochemistry and Toxicology: In Search of Causality-A Critical Perspective.

abstract：:Ozone (O₃), a commonly encountered environmental pollutant, has been shown to induce pulmonary fibrosis in different animal models; the underlying mechanism, however, remains elusive. To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying O₃-induced pulmonary fibrosis, 6- to 8-week-old C57BL/6 male mice were exposed to a c...
