Abstract
This chapter aims to compare the ability of a number of potentially pathogenic particles in terms of their ability to induce inflammation and disease. The article will focus on the effects of α-quartz, asbestos, and environmental particulate air pollution particles and how these different particles activate epithelial cells and macrophages leading to inflammation.
