Nanotoxicology: An Emerging Discipline Evolving from Studies of Ultrafine Particles
TL;DR: Results of older bio-kinetic studies with NSPs and newer epidemiologic and toxicologic studies with airborne ultrafine particles can be viewed as the basis for the expanding field of nanotoxicology, which can be defined as safety evaluation of engineered nanostructures and nanodevices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Translocation of Inhaled Ultrafine Particles to the Brain
Günter Oberdörster,Zachary D. Sharp,Viorel Atudorei,Alison Elder,Robert Gelein,Wolfgang G. Kreyling,Christopher Cox +6 more
TL;DR: The study concludes that the central nervous system (CNS) can be targeted by airborne solid ultrafine particles and that the most likely mechanism is from deposits on the olfactory mucosa of the nasopharyngeal region of the respiratory tract and subsequent translocation via the Olfactory nerve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Principles for characterizing the potential human health effects from exposure to nanomaterials: elements of a screening strategy.
Günter Oberdörster,Andrew D. Maynard,Ken Donaldson,Vincent Castranova,Julie W. Fitzpatrick,Kevin D. Ausman,Janet M. Carter,Barbara Karn,Barbara Karn,Wolfgang G. Kreyling,David Y. Lai,Stephen S. Olin,Nancy A. Monteiro-Riviere,David B. Warheit,Hong Yang +14 more
TL;DR: The working group report presents a broad data gathering strategy applicable to this early stage in the development of a risk assessment process for nanomaterials, and there is a strong likelihood that biological activity of nanoparticles will depend on physicochemical parameters not routinely considered in toxicity screening studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of size, surface charge, and agglomeration state of nanoparticle dispersions for toxicological studies
TL;DR: The role of important factors such as solution ionic strength, pH, and particle surface chemistry that control nanoparticle dispersion was examined in this article, where the size and zeta potential of four TiO2 and three quantum dot samples dispersed in different solutions (including one physiological medium) were characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safe handling of nanotechnology
Andrew D. Maynard,Robert Aitken,Tilman Butz,Vicki L. Colvin,Ken Donaldson,Günter Oberdörster,Martin A. Philbert,John Ryan,Anthony Seaton,Vicki Stone,Sally S. Tinkle,Lang Tran,Nigel J. Walker,David B. Warheit +13 more
TL;DR: The pursuit of responsible nanotechnologies can be tackled through a series of grand challenges, argue Andrew D. Maynard and his co-authors, and if they and their colleagues can rise to these challenges the true extent of any risks involved should become clear.
