Lung function and respiratory symptoms of Brazilian sugarcane cutters exposed to biomass burning
(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2012-09-01)
A comparative study of pentoxifylline effects in adult and aged rats submitted to lung dysfunction by thermal injury
(Sociedade Brasileira para o Desenvolvimento da Pesquisa em Cirurgia, 2013-02-01)
PURPOSE: To investigate the protective effects of pentoxifylline against lung injury observed after dorsal scald in aged animals. METHODS: Adult (eight months old) and aged (20 months old) rats were subjected to thermal ...
Comparative respiratory toxicity of particles produced by traffic and sugar cane burning
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2008)
The impact of particle emissions by biomass burning is increasing throughout the world. We explored the toxicity of particulate matter produced by sugar cane burning and compared these effects with equivalent mass of ...
Obstructive lung disease and exposure to burning biomass fuel in the indoor environment
(Elsevier, 2012)
It is estimated that up to one-half of the world’s population burns biomass fuel (i.e., wood, crop residues, animal dung, and coal) for indoor uses such as cooking, lighting, and heating. As a result, a large proportion ...
Effects of exposure to biomass burning on pulmonary inflammatory markers and pulmonary function in individuals with COPD
(2017-09-01)
Introduction Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has many benefits for individuals with COPD. However, it is not clear whether PR could prevent the hazards of air pollution exposure. This study aimed to analyze the effects of ...
Short terms effects of air pollution from biomass burning in mucociliary clearance of Brazilian sugarcane cutters
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2011-11-01)
Nasal mucociliary system is the first line of defense of the upper airways and may be affected acutely by exposure to particulate matter (PM) from biomass burning. Several epidemiologic studies have demonstrated a consistent ...

Burnt sugarcane harvesting: Particulate matter exposure and the effects on lung function, oxidative stress, and urinary 1-hydroxypyrene
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-10-15)
Non-mechanised sugarcane harvesting preceded by burning exposes workers and the people of neighbouring towns to high concentrations of pollutants.This study was aimed to evaluate the respiratory symptoms, lung function and ...
