Résumé
The toxicity of chemicals of environmental concern to the immune system has been primarily evaluated in animals and, to a lesser extent, in humans. In particular, the effects of various pollutants on B-cell, T-cell, natural killer cells, and monocyte-macrophage cells have been the focus of several reports, but polymorphonuclear neutrophils have largely been neglected. Recent data indicate that neutrophils are important targets for such chemicals, suggesting a potential role of these products in the development of the inflammatory process. The bulk of this review will focus on the role of certain environmental pollutants on human neutrophil cell physiology.
