There is a correlation between environmental particulate matter and health effects.
We studied <em>in vitroem> simvastatin’s potential protective effect on ROFA cytotoxicity.
ROFA decreased cell viability, increased ROS generation, apoptosis and senescence.
Pretreatment with simvastatin attenuated the adverse effects observed.
Simvastatin may provide protection against particulate matter-induced neurotoxicity.
