TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss synthesis and characterization of GBMs as well as human and environmental hazard assessment of GBM using in vitro and in vivo model systems with the aim to understand the properties that underlie the biological effects of these materials; not all GBMs are alike, and it is essential that disentangle the structure-activity relationships for this class of materials.

TL;DR: Interestingly, the level of lung inflammation could not be explained by the surface area of the particles, their primary or agglomerate particle size, or radical formation capacity but is rather explained byThe surface coating.

TL;DR: Although the highest exposure level produced a clear increase in neutrophils in BAL fluid, indicating an inflammatory effect, no significant effect on the level of DNA damage in lung epithelial cells or micronuclei in PCEs was observed, suggesting no genotoxic effects by the 5-day inhalation exposure to nanosized TiO(2) anatase.

TL;DR: The risk of airborne exposure to pathogenic bacteria and NoVs from the WWTP air emission to surroundings to be negligible is assessed, however, as a slightly higher NoV concentration was detected inside the WW TP, it cannot exclude the possibility that exposure to airborne NoVs can pose a health risk to susceptible to workers inside theWWTP, although the risk may be low.

TL;DR: It is shown that even a short-term inhalation of the rod-like CNT induces novel innate immunity-mediated allergic-like airway inflammation in healthy mice, emphasize the diverse abilities of CNT to impact the immune system, and they should be taken into account for hazard assessment.
