Nanotoxicology: An Emerging Discipline Evolving from Studies of Ultrafine Particles
Although humans have been exposed to airborne nanosized particles (NSPs; < 100 nm) throughout their evolutionary stages, such exposure has increased dramatically over the last century due to anthropogenic sources. The rapidly developing field of nanotechnology is likely to become yet another source through inhalation, ingestion, skin uptake, and injection of engineered nanomaterials. Informatio...

متن کاملCombustion-derived nanoparticles: mechanisms of pulmonary toxicity.
1. The general term 'nanoparticle' (NP) is used to define any particle less than 100 nm in at least one dimension and NPs are generally classified as natural, anthropogenic or engineered in origin. Anthropogenic, also referred to as 'ultrafine' particles (UFPs), are predominately combustion derived and are characterized by having an equivalent spherical diameter less than 100 nm. 2. These parti...
متن کاملComparative study of ambient air particles in patients hospitalized for heart failure and acute coronary syndrome.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Currently air pollution is considered as an emerging risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Our objective was to study the concentrations of particulate matter in ambient air and analyze their relationship with cardiovascular risk factors in patients admitted to a cardiology department of a tertiary hospital with the diagnosis of heart failure or acute coronary synd...
متن کاملEHP Papers of the Year, 2008
Authors are often asked about the impact of their research on their fields or disciplines. Likewise, editors often wonder about the impact of articles published in their journals. In an effort to reinforce the high quality of articles published in EHP, reveal trends in emerging research themes, and track the impact of groundbreaking research, we will henceforth, on an annual basis, identify the...
