Article Abstract
Oil-mist particulate matter (OMPM) refers to oily particles with a small aerodynamic equivalent diameter in ambient air. Since the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) has not been fully elucidated, this study aims to explore the potential molecular mechanisms of the adverse effects of exposure to OMPM at different concentrations in vivo and in vitro on PF. In this study, rats and cell lines were treated with different concentrations of OMPM in vivo and in vitro. Sirius Red staining analysis shows that OMPM exposure could cause pulmonary lesions and fibrosis symptoms. The expression of TGF-β1, α-SMA, and collagen I was increased in the lung tissue of rats. The activities of MMP2 and TIMP1 were unbalanced, and increased N-Cadherin and decreased E-Cadherin upon OMPM exposure in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, OMPM exposure could activate the TGF-β1/Smad3 and TGF-β1/MAPK p38 signaling pathways, and the differentiation of human lung fibroblast HFL-1 cells. Therefore, OMPM exposure could induce PF by targeting the lung epithelium and fibroblasts, and activating the TGF-β1/Smad3 and TGF-β1/MAPK p38 signaling pathways.

Air pollution is a significant concern for human health, particularly in relation to cardiovascular damage. Currently, the precise mechanisms underlying myocardial tissue injury induced by air pollution remain to be fully elucidated. Oil mist particulate matter (OMPM) is a key environmental factor that has been linked to increased mortality from cardiovascular diseases.

Article Synopsis
- OMPM (oil mist particulate matters) exposure disrupts gut microbiota, leading to reduced levels of beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and increasing inflammation.
- In a rat model, OMPM exposure resulted in lipid buildup in the body and higher inflammatory cytokines due to microbiota imbalances.
- The compromised gut barrier from OMPM led to increased lipopolysaccharides that activated inflammatory pathways, suggesting a link between air pollution and inflammatory diseases through microbiota disruption.

To investigate the effects of oil-mist particulate matter (OMPM) on cardiac tissue structure fibrosis in rats and the role of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Six-week-old Wistar rats (half male and half female) were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (without OMPM exposure), low-dose exposure group (50 mg/m) and high-dose exposure group (100 mg/m), 18 rats in each group, with 6.5 hours per day of dynamic inhalation exposure.

Oil mist particulate matter (OMPM) causes acute and chronic diseases and exacerbations. Owing to the characteristics of poor ventilation, high oil mist concentration, and a relatively closed working environment, the existence of OMPM in the cabin is inevitable, and its impact on the health of occupations on ships cannot be ignored. However, compared with several studies that summarized the health effects of OMPM from traditional sources, few studies have focused on the occupational exposure risk of OMPM from oil pollution sources in ships.
