|
Particulate matter (PM) 10 is defi ned as fi ne dust less than 10 ¥ìm in diameter which?includes harmful materials such as sulphate, nitrate, acid, carbon compounds and, heavy metals. PM, which has become a serious issue in Korea, has adverse effects not only on the respiratory tract but also on the cardiovascular system, and skin. Exposure to PMs results in the aggravation of atopic dermatitis, extrinsic skin aging involving increasing wrinkles, and pigmented spots. It also can induce a burning sensation and pruritus in those with sensitive skin. Thus, we review the effects of PM exposure on human skin in the literature.
