Fig. 2From: Fine particulate matter contributes to COPD-like pathophysiology: experimental evidence from rats exposed to diesel exhaust particlesChanging trend of DEP concentrations during exposure period. The changing trends of particle mass concentration (PMC, A) and particle number concentration (PNC, B) during 4 h DEP exposures were shown. Correlation analysis showed that the changing trend of PMC was significantly correlated with that of PNC during the exposure period (C, r2 = 0.96, p < 0.0001)Back to article page
