Exposure to urban airborne particulate matter (PM) has been associated with adverse health effects. The majority of research articles published on air pollution PM relate to PM 10 . However, increasing emphasis and stringent regulations have been placed on PM 2.5 . The mechanisms for PM-induced adve
## Abstract ABSTRACT: To contribute to improving knowledge on the adverse health effects induced by particulate matter (PM) air pollution, an extensive investigation was undertaken of the underlying mechanisms of action activated by PM~2.5~ air pollution collected in Dunkerque, a strongly industria
