Implementation of regulatory standards has reduced exhaust emissions of particulate matter
from road traffic substantially in the developed world. However, nonexhaust particle …

In this paper, the current knowledge on tyre and road wear particles (TRWP) is compiled
regarding all environmental and health aspects. TRWP generated on roads during driving …

Air pollution is one of the most severe environmental health hazards, and airborne
nanoparticles (diameter< 100 nm) are considered particularly hazardous to human health …

There has been an increasing number of studies in magnetic nanoparticles with auspicious
applications in medicine. Among the oxides of magnetic nanoparticles, iron oxide has …

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) are being widely used for various
biomedical applications, for example, magnetic resonance imaging, targeted delivery of …

Airborne particulate matter poses a serious threat to human health. Exposure to nanosized
(< 0.1 μm), vehicle-derived particulates may be hazardous due to their bioreactivity, their …

Toxicological studies have shown increased toxicity of nanoparticles (< 100nm) compared to
micrometer particles of the same composition, which has raised concern about the impact on …

Generation of oxidatively damaged DNA by particulate matter (PM) is hypothesized to occur
via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. We investigated this …

Background The oxidative potential (OP) of particulate matter (PM) has been proposed as a
more health relevant metric than PM mass. Different assays exist for measuring OP and little …

Cu-containing nanoparticles are used in various applications in order to eg achieve
antimicrobial activities and to increase the conductivity of fluids and polymers. Several …
