Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental exposure to wood-smoke particles in healthy humans : effects on markers of inflammation, coagulation, and lipid peroxidation.
Lars Barregard,Gerd Sallsten,Pernilla Gustafson,Lena Andersson,Linda Johansson,Samar Basu,Lennart Stigendal +6 more
TL;DR: Exposure to wood smoke increased the levels of serum amyloid A, a cardiovascular risk factor, as well as factor VIII in plasma and the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor ratio, indicating a slight effect on the balance of coagulation factors and a temporary increase in free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental exposure to wood smoke: effects on airway inflammation and oxidative stress.
Lars Barregard,Gerd Sallsten,Lena Andersson,Ann-Charlotte Almstrand,Pernilla Gustafson,Marianne Andersson,Anna-Carin Olin +6 more
TL;DR: Wood smoke at levels that can be found in smoky indoor environments caused an inflammatory response and signs of increased oxidative stress in the respiratory tract, especially in the lower airways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indoor levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in homes with or without wood burning for heating.
TL;DR: The total PAH cancer potency was significantly higher in the wood-burning homes compared with the reference homes, with BaP being the largest contributor, while phenanthrene made the largest contribution to the totalPAH concentration in indoor and outdoor air.
Journal ArticleDOI
Domestic wood burning and PM2.5 trace elements : Personal exposures, indoor and outdoor levels
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured personal exposures as well as indoor and outdoor levels of PM 2.5 with cyclones and impactors simultaneously in a residential area where wood burning for domestic space heating is common.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to fine particles (PM2.5 and PM1) and black smoke in the general population: personal, indoor, and outdoor levels.
TL;DR: Personal exposure to PM2.5 and PM1, together with indoor and residential outdoor levels, was measured in the general adult population of Gothenburg, Sweden and in non-smokers, and there was an acceptable agreement between personal exposure and urban background concentrations for PM1 and BS.
