Exposure to Air Pollution Exacerbates Inflammation in Rats with Preexisting COPD by Jing Wang, Ya Li, Peng Zhao, Yange Tian, Xuefang Liu, Huihui He, Rui Jia, Brian G. Oliver, Jiansheng Li

“…PM2.5 also aggravated inflammation, increasing neutrophils and eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and cytokines including Interleukin- (IL-) 1β, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and IL-4. The likely mechanism is through oxidative stress as antioxidants levels were decreased, whereas oxidants were increased, indicating a detrimental shift in the oxidant-antioxidant balance. …”
