Research advances on biological effects and potential toxicity mechanisms of dust storm fine particles
-
Abstract
Dust storm fine particles (PM2.5) are one of the major factors resulting in air pollution and threatening human health. Owing to complex components and a wide coverage, dust storm PM2.5 can cause multiple adverse health effects through potential sensitive targets. In this paper, recent studies reporting the biological effects and potential mechanisms of toxicity induced by dust storm PM2.5 exposure were reviewed and presented from four perspectives including inflammatory response, oxidative stress, immune toxicity, and DNA injury. This review aimed to provide a theoretical basis for further related studies.
