Synopsis Particle Toxicology by : Ken Donaldson
Exposure to particles in industry and mining and from accidental anthropogenic sources constitutes an ongoing threat. Most recently nanoparticles arising from advances in technology are exposing a wider population to pathogenic stimuli. The effects of inhaled particles are no longer confined to the lung as nanoparticles have the potential to transl

Synopsis Case Studies in Nanotoxicology and Particle Toxicology by : Antonietta M Gatti
Case Studies in Nanotoxicology and Particle Toxicology presents a highly-illustrated analysis of the most prominent cases on the adverse effects of nanoparticles and their impact on humans and the environment. This comprehensive reference demonstrates the possible risks imposed by managing and handling nanoparticles, showing the effects of involuntary inhalation or ingestion during their use and after their incineration. Through the use of numerous examples, readers will discover the possible risks and effects of working with nanoparticles, along with best practices to prevent these effects. The text is an essential reference for anyone working in the risk assessment of nanoparticles, including nanosafety professionals, occupational toxicologists, regulatory toxicologists, and clinicians. - Presents real-life cases showing the potential risks to human health following exposure to nanoparticles - An ideal reference for anyone working in the risk assessment of nanoparticles, including nanosafety professionals, occupational toxicologists, regulatory toxicologists, and clinicians - Provides examples to help assess risks of handling engineered nanomaterials - Advises on the best forms of protection and the safest nanotechnological products

Synopsis How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease by : United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General
This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Synopsis Handbook of Particle Toxicology by : Lucy Malone
Particle toxicology is the field concerned with the toxicity of particles and fibers. The characteristics of different particles are investigated to determine their levels of toxicity and the pathobiological mechanism of that lethality. This enables the assessment of risks relative to exposures and the development of interventions to prevent progression. Historically, coal, quartz, asbestos, glass fibres and environmental particles have had a negative impact on human health. In the era of nanotechnology, nanotoxicology has emerged as a new domain in particle toxicology. Of all possible hazards, inhalation exposure presents the most concern with researches showing pulmonary conditions such as fibrosis, inflammation and carcinogenicity being the most likely outcomes of exposure to nanomaterials. Ingestion exposure and skin contact are the other major concerns. This book elucidates new techniques and applications of particle toxicology in a multidisciplinary manner. It explores all the important aspects of particle toxicology in the present day scenario. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.

Synopsis Recent Progress in Particle Toxicology by : Lucy Malone
The inhalation of harmful airborne particles may result in adverse health conditions and pathological changes in the respiratory tract. It is often seen that noxious inhaled particles activate an inflammatory pulmonary response, which can initiate a sub-chronic or chronic pulmonary disease. These conditions may include silicosis, pneumonitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asbestosis, emphysema, fibrosis, asthma or cancer. The severity of a particle-induced pathology is dependent on the exposure time and concentration as well as particle size, structure and composition. Airborne particles may include combustion-derived particles from welding, cigarette smoke, traffic and industry, etc. as well as biological particles such as pollen and fungi. Research on particle toxicology attempts to investigate the effects of individual particles and sources. This enables better predictability of newly generated particles. In vivo toxicological studies screen for long-term effects in the respiratory tract. Such studies include the histopathological analysis of the lungs for investigating adverse effects of particles. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of particle toxicology. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in toxicology.

Synopsis Particle and Fibre Toxicology by : Hailey Kennedy
Airborne particles when inhaled, can lead to pathological changes in the respiratory tract. Therefore, toxicological studies on the effects of inhalable fibers and particles involve an assessment of the histopathological alterations in the trachea, lungs and the upper respiratory tract. The pathology of particle and fibre toxicology depends on the exposure source, duration, concentration and individual predisposition. Particles such as combustion-derived particles, engineered nanoparticles, ultrafine particles, silica, asbestos, etc. can induce an inflammatory response. There may be long term effects of chronic particle exposure, such as allergic airway inflammation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, fibrosis or neoplasms. The extent of tissue damage and pulmonary inflammation can be addressed and studied via pulmonary histopathology as well as diverse histopathological inflammatory parameters. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of particle and fibre toxicology which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. It attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into toxicology.

Synopsis Inhalation Toxicology by : Ulrich Mohr
The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI), a nonprofit, public foundation, was established in 1978 to advance the sciences of nutrition, toxicology, and food safety. ILSI promotes the resolution of health and safety issues in these areas by sponsoring research, conferences, publications, and educational programs. Through ILSI's programs, scientists from government, academia, and industry unite their efforts to resolve issues of critical importance to the public. As part of its commitment to understanding and resolving health and safety issues, ILSI is pleased to sponsor this series of monographs that consolidates new scientific knowledge, defines research needs, and provides a background for the effective application of scientific advances in toxicology and food safety.
