Abstract: Although not all hazardous effects on human health have been clearly defined so far, the health risks of particulate matter can be considered evident. Pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases, in particular, are caused or aggravated by inhaled particulate matter. The aim of this article is to describe the incorporation and the effects on organ function of inhaled particles. Furthermore, the potential risks of de novo synthesised nanoparticles are discussed in the context of the public controversy regarding environmental particulate matter pollution.
