Description
Naunpun Sangphech and seven co-authors published an immunology study in twenty twenty-six on how the fine dust choking Chiang Mai, Thailand affects human immune cells. The province suffers severe seasonal particle pollution, yet its effects on people's immunity were barely characterized. The team paired local disease records with laboratory exposure of blood monocytes.
Particle and nitrogen dioxide levels rose together through the year and tracked with chronic lung disease incidence in the province. Monocytes dosed with collected particles changed gene activity in a dose-dependent way. Metabolism genes shifted notably, including several switching on while sugar-burning pathways were suppressed. The work ties a real city's smog season to measurable immune and metabolic disturbance.
