Study Reveals Body’s Detox Mechanism to Cleanse Pollution
Research published in Toxicological Sciences exposed a new mechanism whereby small toxic particles from diesel fumes can exaggerate the inflammatory response. The collaborative study was carried out by researchers in Japan, the US, and Germany, from Hiroshima University, the University of California and the Leibniz Research Institute.
