Inflammatory Disorders and Diseases of Environmental Etiology

Chronic inflammation is a key pathological feature underlying development and progression of chronic diseases including cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurodegenerative disorders. Inflammation is triggered by various environmental insults such as long-term exposure to toxic particles (PM2.5, ultrafines or nanoparticles), industrial chemicals (immunotoxicants), biological agents and infections, and climate change. On the other hand, occupational exposures to toxic particles or fibers, industrial and agricultural chemicals are among the major factors associated with chronic inflammatory disorders in adults.
