This initial response is vital for protecting the body from potential threats.2. **Oxidative Stress:** Article Morphology of single inhalable particle inside public transi...

(ROS) and can induce oxidative stress within the body. This oxidative stress can damage cellular components and lead to inflammation. In response, the innate immune system may produce more pro-inflammatory cytokines, contributing to an ongoing inflammatory state.3. **Altered Immune Cell Function:** Chapter Particulate Matter: Sources, Emission Rates and Health Effects
Long-term exposure to PM can impair the function of innate immune cells. For example, macrophages exposed to PM may have reduced phagocytic ability, making them less effective at clearing infections. This can weaken the body's overall defense mechanisms.4. **Airway Inflammation:** Inhalation of PMArticle Epidemiology, 17 (6), S146-S147, November 2006, Children's E...
can lead to inflammation in the respiratory tract. This inflammation can compromise the integrity of the airway epithelium, making it more susceptible to infections. It can also exacerbate pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma and bronchitis.5. **Systemic Effects:** Chapter Particulate Matter: Sources, Emission Rates and Health Effects
PM can enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. This systemic distribution can affect various organs and tissues, including the cardiovascular system. Chronic exposure to PM is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, in part due to its impact on the immune system.6. **Susceptibility to Infections:** Prolonged exposure to PM can weaken the innate immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections. It can also exacerbate the severity of infectious diseases, as the immune response may be less effective in clearing pathogens.
In conclusion, particulate matter in the form of urban dust, air pollution, and smoke can have detrimental effects on the innate immune system. It triggers inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and alters the function of immune cells, leading to a compromised immune defense. This underscores the importance of reducing exposure to air pollutants and implementing measures to protect public health.

Dear Madeeha Arooj
I have done experiments of PM2.5-induced inflammation in vitro and in vivo.
Kind regards
