Human exposure to nano- and microplastics (NMPs) has raised major societal concerns, yet no framework to assess the risks of NMPs for human health exists. A substantial proportion of plastic produced worldwide is not properly disposed and persists in... Read More about Paradigms to assess the human health risks of nano- and microplastics.

Simulated biological fluids – a systematic review of their biological relevance and use in relation to inhalation toxicology of particles and fibres (2021)
Journal Article
Innes, E., Yiu, H. H. P., McLean, P., Brown, W., & Boyles, M. (2021). Simulated biological fluids – a systematic review of their biological relevance and use in relation to inhalation toxicology of particles and fibres. Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 51(3), 217-248. https://doi.org/10.1080/10408444.2021.1903386

The use of simulated biological fluids (SBFs) is a promising in vitro technique to better understand the release mechanisms and possible in vivo behaviour of materials, including fibres, metal-containing particles and nanomaterials. Applications of S... Read More about Simulated biological fluids – a systematic review of their biological relevance and use in relation to inhalation toxicology of particles and fibres.
