A human lung model system for studies of nano-particle exposure
Period: 1/1/09 - 12/31/09
Surface reactivity, bioaccessibility and toxicity of nano- and micron- sized metallic particles in simulated lung systems.
Period: 1/1/08 - 12/31/10
Ambient airborne particles of varying size and composition originating from anthropogenic and natural sources are today a recognized health risk in the society. The rapid development of engineered nanomaterials, including particles, is believed to become an issue of large concern within this ...
The Nano-Tox Program: Nanoparticles in products and applications - a research approach from a fundamental and applied perspective to improve risk assessment
Period: 1/1/09 - 1/1/13
The overall aim of this interdisciplinary research program, the Nano-Tox program, is to address central knowledge gaps that presently prevent the performance of adequate risk assessments of nanomaterials. Our well established collaboration "Stockholm Particle Group*, between scientists from ...
Toxic effects and critical properties of airborne metal particles investigated in advanced exposure systems
Period: 1/1/11 - 12/31/13
There is a great concern in the society about exposure to airborne metal particles due to the increasing use of engineered nanoparticles and remaining high contribution of unintentionally spread particles in the air. It is well-known today that airborne particles cause several different health ...
