Paradigms to assess the human health risks of nano- and microplastics (2021)
Journal Article
Noventa, S., Boyles, M. S. P., Seifert, A., Belluco, S., Jiménez, A. S., Johnston, H. J., …Losasso, C. (2021). Paradigms to assess the human health risks of nano- and microplastics. Microplastics and Nanoplastics, 1, Article 9. https://doi.org/10.1186/

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, 5

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.
