TOXIC ASSESSMENT OF HEAVILY TRAFFIC-RELATED FINE PARTICULATE MATTER USING AN IN-VIVO WILD-TYPE CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS MODEL

Toxic Assessment of Heavily Traffic-related Fine Particulate Matter Using an in-vivo Wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans Model

Abstract In association with the mortality rate due to air pollution, vehicular emitted fine particles (PM2.5) are a threat to public health.PM2.5-induced in-vivo studies on environmental microorganisms can be used to assess the adverse click here impacts of PM2.5 on human health.In the present study, the toxicity of traffic-related-air-pollutant (
