| adverse effects of coal combustion related fine particulate matter (pm2.5) on nematode caenorhabditis elegans. | the toxic effects of coal combustion related fine particulate matter (pm2.5), collected from datong, shanxi province, china, on nematode caenorhabditis elegans were investigated. exposure to pm2.5 resulted in deficits in development, reproduction, locomotion behavior, and lifespan, and induction of intestinal autofluorescence or reactive oxygen species (ros) production. prolonged exposure to pm2.5 led to more severe toxicity on nematodes than acute exposure. in addition, exposure to pm2.5 induce ... | 2015 | 25625637 |
