Why are people with inflammatory disorders more susceptible to #airpollution? We investigated chemical pathways involving the inflammation marker nitric oxide in our new paper in @EnvSciTech and find increased production of OH radicals in the lung https://t.co/Rbl8Qgq9uV
The antioxidant system of the lung can be overloaded by typical urban air pollution, giving way to production of OH radicals and oxidative stress, reveals a modelling study by @StevenLelieveld, @t_berkemeier and co-workers. Read the full story in ES&T: https://t.co/w8HGNVYiUz
New paper in @EnvSciTech from the group: @StevenLelieveld found a non-linear increase in the yield of harmful OH radicals from inhaling #AirPollution. The tipping point lies in the range of typical urban pollutant concentrations! Read more here: https://t.co/nLgBmOfka6
