Unexpected interactions of nanoparticles with endothelial and epithelial cells
Nanoparticles regardless as subjects of nanotoxicity or nanomedicine studies will inevitably interact with endothelial and epithelial cells. In the case of nanomedicine, while these cells are usually not the intended target, nanoparticles first interact with [...]
Characterization of Nanoparticles in Wood Coating Stains and OSHA HazCom Compliance
Recent marketing of manufactured products for the construction trades has touted the use of engineered nanoparticles in there formulations. For this study, commercially available wood waterproofing stains were obtained that specifically identified “Nano Particle Technology” [...]
Dose- and Time-dependent Effects of Sub-chronic Functionalized MWCNT Exposure on Human Mesothelial Cell Neoplastic Transformation Potential
Stueckle T.A., Davidson D.C., Derk R., Gracheck P., Wu N., Rojanasakul Y., Wang L., National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, US
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are characterized by asbestos-like fiber morphology and surface chemistries. Physicochemical properties of MWCNTs that influence pleural mesothelioma potential are unknown, but critically needed to enhance safe-by-design nanotechnology. We hypothesized that surface [...]
Concern-Driven Approach to human health risk assessment of nanomaterials: A Nanoparticle Screening Assessment Framework
Bernatchez S., Afghan A., Lai D., Sayre P., Hill M., New Substances Assessment and Control Bureau, CA
The framework proposed here was developed under the Canada-US Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) Nanotechnology Initiative and represents a concern-driven approach to focus human health concerns and additional testing requirements for nanoparticles based on their physical [...]
A Framework for Identifying Sustainability Performance Targets for Nanomaterials
MacCuspie R.I., Micher L., Nance J., Watkins J., Hyman H., Srinivasan S., Dhau J., Yakymyshyn C., Drake C., Florida Polytechnic University, US
A current challenge facing the application of nano-enabled products is how to evaluate sustainable solutions and develop performance criteria? This work describes the application of an Input-Process-Output (IPO) model as a framework for a life-cycle [...]
Aerosolization of Carbon Nanotubes Using an Acoustic Generator: Particle Generation and Properties
With increasing applications and global production of carbon nanomaterials, there is a growing concern about workplace exposure. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has recommended a working lifetime exposure limit (REL of [...]
Strategy for Establish an Effective Mid-stream Supply Chain of Natural Gas Hydrate with Low Energy Consumption Type Container Carrier
A number of countries and institutions are attempting to develop Natural Gas Hydrate (henceforth NGH) related technologies since NGH serves economic feasibility for mid-size gas-field development. However, there are several technical, economic and procedural problems [...]
