Inhalation exposure of nano-scaled titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles alters the inflammatory responses in asthmatic mice

open access: yes, 2013
Context: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are regarded as relatively non-toxic in concentrations occurring in occupational environments. Nevertheless, it is conceivable that adverse health effects may develop in sensitive populations such as ...

The effect of a "Nuisance" dust inhalation on lung clearance

open access: yes, 2022
For particles which show low solubility and/or slight biological effects a general threshold limit is applied in the occupational field, e.g. 6 mg/cubic meter (FRG) and 5 mg/cubic meter (USA). In this study the effect on lung retention and lung clearance

Developmental toxic effects of ethylbenzene or toluene alone and in combination with butyl acetate in rats after inhalation exposure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
First, the developmental toxic potential of n-butyl acetate (BA) was examined in Sprague-Dawley rats following whole body inhalation exposure, 6 h day-1, from day 6 to 20 of gestation, at concentrations of 0, 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm.

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Ultrastructural observation in hamster and rat lungs after chronic inhalation of cadmium compounds

open access: yes, 2022
S.264-268Long-term inhalation of CdCl2 at concentrations as low as 12.6 myg Cd/cbm causes development of lung tumors in rats (4). No information, however, was available on the chronic carcinogenicity of CdO, CdS and CdSO4 which are especially relevant to

Differences in impact on disease or lung injury depending on the physicochemical characteristics of harmful chemicals in the PAH model

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The number of individuals with underlying medical conditions has been increasing steadily. These individuals are relatively vulnerable to harmful external factors. But it has not been proven that the effects of hazardous chemicals may differ depending on

Machine Learning for Green Solvents: Assessment, Selection and Substitution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Environmental regulations have intensified demand for green solvents, but discovery is limited by Solvent Selection Guides (SSGs) that quantify solvent sustainability. Training a machine learning model on GlaxoSmithKline SSG, a database of sustainability metrics for 10,189 solvents, GreenSolventDB is developed. Integrated with Hansen solubility metrics,

Effects of Di-n-Butylamine on the respiratory system of wistar (WU) rats after subchronic inhalation

open access: yes, 2022
S.701-713Aim of the study was to investigate the potential toxic effects of di-n-butylamine (DBA), a known skin and eye irritating compound, on the respiratory tract after inhalation exposure for up to 91 days in male and female rats [Crl:(WI)WU BR].
