Study Sheds Light on Respiratory Toxicity of EPFRs

from NIEHS Superfund Research Program - Research Brief Podcasts · host Superfund Research Program

A new Superfund Research Program (SRP) study explains how particulate matter (PM) containing environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). AhR is known to play an important role in detecting and responding to a variety of pollutants. These findings could prove useful in understanding the underlying mechanism of diseases known to be associated with inhalation of PM, such as cardiovascular disease.
