The effect of air pollution on the transcriptomics of the immune response to respiratory infection

Abstract Combustion related particulate matter air pollution (PM) is associated with an increased risk of respiratory infections in adults. The exact mechanism underlying this association has not been determined. We hypothesized that increased concentrations of combustion related PM would result in...
