What Are the Histological Markers of Air Pollution Exposure?
Histological markers of air pollution exposure include an increased presence of inflammatory cells, damage to epithelial cells, and deposition of particulate matter within lung tissues. These changes can be identified using various histological techniques such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, which highlights general tissue architecture, and specific immunohistochemical markers that identify inflammatory cells and oxidative stress markers.
