Ambient and engineered nanoparticles have incredible potential for uptake, transport and retention throughout the respiratory system. Fine and ultrafine particles and aerosols area found in a diverse number of settings may have respiratory, systemic and neurological consequences. To evaluate the potential risks of fine and ultrafine aerosols will require assessment of the dynamics between particle size, chemical composition, exposure potential and biological fate. This seminar will address each of these issues to address how we can better evaluate the potential health risk of airborne particles in the workplace and our environment.
