Journal ArticleDOI
Particulate matter beyond mass: recent health evidence on the role of fractions, chemical constituents and sources of emission
TL;DR: The new evidence collected supports the scientific conclusions of the World Health Organization Air Quality Guidelines and also provides scientific arguments for taking decisive actions to improve air quality and reduce the global burden of disease associated with air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative potential of particulate matter collected at sites with different source characteristics
Nicole A.H. Janssen,Aileen Yang,Maciej Strak,Maaike Steenhof,Bryan Hellack,Miriam E. Gerlofs-Nijland,Thomas A. J. Kuhlbusch,Frank J. Kelly,Roy M. Harrison,Roy M. Harrison,Bert Brunekreef,Gerard Hoek,Flemming R. Cassee +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, three a-cellular assays; dithiothreitol (OPDTT), electron spin resonance (OPESR), and ascorbate depletion (OPAA) were used to characterize the oxidative potential (OP) of PM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle Traps Prevent Adverse Vascular and Prothrombotic Effects of Diesel Engine Exhaust Inhalation in Men
Andrew J. Lucking,Magnus Lundbäck,Stefan Barath,Nicholas L. Mills,Manjit K. Sidhu,Jeremy P. Langrish,Nicholas A. Boon,Jamshid Pourazar,Juan J. Badimon,Miriam E. Gerlofs-Nijland,Flemming R. Cassee,Christoffer Boman,Ken Donaldson,Thomas Sandström,David E. Newby,Anders Blomberg +15 more
TL;DR: With a range of surrogate measures, the use of a particle trap prevents several adverse cardiovascular effects of exhaust inhalation in men and widespread use of particle traps on diesel-powered vehicles may have substantial public health benefits and reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of prolonged exposure to diesel engine exhaust on proinflammatory markers in different regions of the rat brain
Miriam E. Gerlofs-Nijland,Damien van Berlo,Flemming R. Cassee,Roel P. F. Schins,Kate Wang,Arezoo Campbell +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that different brain regions may be uniquely responsive to changes induced by exposure to DEE, and underscores the role of neuroinflammation in response to ambient air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Policy Relevance of Wear Emissions from Road Transport, Now and in the Future—An International Workshop Report and Consensus Statement
Hugo Denier van der Gon,Miriam E. Gerlofs-Nijland,Robert Gehrig,Mats Gustafsson,Nicole A.H. Janssen,Roy M. Harrison,J.H.J. Hulskotte,Christer Johansson,Magdalena Jozwicka,Menno Keuken,Klaas Krijgsheld,Leonidas Ntziachristos,Michael Riediker,Flemming R. Cassee +13 more
TL;DR: It is argued that dedicated research is required on nonexhaust emissions and dispersion to urban areas from both an air quality and a public health perspective and the implicated message to regulators and policy makers is that road transport emissions continue to be an issue for health and air quality, despite the encouraging rapid decrease of tailpipe exhaust emissions.
