Particle Uptake, Migration, and Cytotoxicity in Lung Cancer Cells and Monocytes Exposed to Urban PM10 and PM2.5

Particulate matter (PM) in the air, classified as PM(2.5) and PM(10), enters the body through the nose and mouth during breathing and reaches the lungs. PM is linked to respiratory damage, lung cancer, and the activation of immune system cells, including inflammation and metastasis. Previously, our
