DIFFERENTIAL PULMONARY TOXICITY AND AUTOANTIBODY FORMATION IN GENETICALLY DISTINCT MOUSE STRAINS FOLLOWING COMBINED EXPOSURE TO SILICA AND DIESEL EXHAUST PARTICLES

Abstract Background Inhalation of airborne particulate matter, such as silica and diesel exhaust particles, poses serious long-term respiratory and systemic health risks.Silica exposure can lead to silicosis and systemic autoimmune diseases, while DEP exposure is linked to asthma and cancer.Combined exposure to silica and DEP, common in mining, may
