Figure 3 Cardiovascular effects and proposed mechanisms of chronic exposure to traffic-related air pollution
Figure 3 | Cardiovascular effects and proposed mechanisms of chronic exposure to traffic-related air pollution. Inhaled pollutants can activate receptors in the lung, or potentially cross at the alveolar level to enter the systemic circulation. Molecular and cellular effects lead to responses in various tissues and organs, to subclinical effects, and eventually to clinical cardiovascular effects.
