A fulvic acid-like substance participates in the pro-inflammatory effects of cigarette smoke and wood smoke particles

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2019-10-10
We tested the postulate that 1) a fulvic acid (FA)-like substance is included in cigarette smoke and wood smoke particles and 2) exposure of respiratory epithelial cells to this substance results in a disruption of iron homeostasis associated with both a cell deficiency of the metal and inflammatory response. It was concluded that 1) FA-like substance is included in cigarette smoke and wood smoke particle and 2) respiratory epithelial cell exposure to this substance results in a disruption of iron homeostasis associated with both a cell deficiency of the metal and inflammatory response. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Gonzalez, D., J. Soukup, M. Madden, M. Hays, J. Berntsen, S. Paulson, and A. Ghio. A fulvic acid-like substance participates in the pro-inflammatory effects of cigarette smoke and wood smoke particles.. CHEMICAL RESEARCH IN TOXICOLOGY.
