<h4>Context</h4>Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with systemic health effects, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms are unclear.<h4>Objective</h4>We hypothesized that, if circulating mononuclear cells play an important role in mediating systemic effects of PM, they would show gene expression changes following exposure.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>Peripheral blood samples were collected before (0 h) and at 24 h from healthy subjects exposed to filtered air (FA) and ultrafin ...[more]
