Health impact and toxicological effects of nanomaterials in the lungMichaela Kendall
Truro III Division, Faculty of Medicine, European Centre for Environment and Human Health, Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Exeter, Southampton General Hospital, Southampton, UK
Respirology 17:743-58. 2012..Human exposures via medical and dental applications appear important in terms of dose and toxicity, and may need to be assessed for risk on a case-by-case basis...
Fine airborne urban particles (PM2.5) sequester lung surfactant and amino acids from human lung lavageMichaela Kendall
Public Health, Uludag Univ, Bursa, 16059, Turkey
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 293:L1053-8. 2007..Disruption of normal surfactant function, both physical and immunological, is possible but unproven. Further work on this PM-opsonin interaction is recommended...
Particle and nanoparticle interactions with fibrinogen: the importance of aggregation in nanotoxicologyMichaela Kendall

Nanotoxicology 5:55-65. 2011..Interaction of particles and NPs with pro-coagulant polymers may therefore dictate the NP surface dose presentation to cells/organs and subsequent cellular effects, in and ex vivo...
Molecular adsorption at particle surfaces: a PM toxicity mediation mechanismMichaela Kendall
Public Health Department, School of Medicine, Uludag University, Gorukle Bursa, Turkey
Inhal Toxicol 16:99-105. 2004..The biological implication is that molecular adsorption at nonbiological particulate matter (PM) surfaces in BALF may mediate the toxicity of PM via one or both of these mechanisms, as in the case of biological particles...

EPA PM Health Effects Research Center, New York University School of Medicine, Tuxedo, New York 10987, USA
Inhal Toxicol 16:115-29. 2004..Similarly, ToF-SIMS analysis suggests the bioavailability of Na(+) and Al(+) as well as NH(+)(4) and Si(+)...
Personal exposures to traffic-related air pollution and acute respiratory health among Bronx schoolchildren with asthmaAriel Spira-Cohen
Nelson Institute of Environmental Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, Tuxedo, New York 10987 5007, USA
Environ Health Perspect 119:559-65. 2011..Previous studies have reported relationships between adverse respiratory health outcomes and residential proximity to traffic pollution, but have not shown this at a personal exposure level...
Factors affecting personal exposure to thoracic and fine particles and their componentsShao I Hsu
Columbia University, Public Health, New York, New York, USA
J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol 22:439-47. 2012..23) was much more spatially heterogeneous. Thus, CMS measurements can adequately reflect personal exposures for spatially uniform components, such as sulfate, but they are not adequate for components from more local sources...

Division of Environmental and Occupational Health, School of Public Health, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Piscataway, New Jersey, USA
J Air Waste Manag Assoc 54:515-28. 2004..In summary, the indoor dust/smoke was similar in concentration to the outdoor dust/smoke but had a greater percentage of mass <53 microm in diameter...
Lung lining liquid modifies PM(2.5) in favor of particle aggregation: a protective mechanismMichaela Kendall
Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine, London SW7 2BP, United Kingdom
