… Alternatively, this pH neutralization can be achieved by electrodialysis. The resulting silica
suspension is stabilized by pH adjustment. Finally a solid concentration up to 50 wt% is …

Large-scale production and use of amorphous silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have increased
the risk of human exposure to SiNPs, while their health effects remain unclear. In this review, …

The effect that monodisperse amorphous spherical silica particles of different sizes have on
the viability of endothelial cells (EAHY926 cell line) is investigated. The results indicate that …

Abstract Information on the toxicity of carbon nanotubes is still fragmentary but indicates that
these particles can induce adverse effects. We previously demonstrated in rats that, when …

Background: Numerous studies have shown a strong association between daily mortality and
small particulate with a diameter of <10 µm (PM 10 ) air pollution, but the effects of season …

… These commercial sols are electrostatically stabilized by sodium hydroxide (pH 9−10).
The Ludox samples were diluted with steam sterilized (15 min at 121 C) ultrapure water (Milli-Q) …

… These commercial sols are stabilized by sodium hydroxide (pH 9-10) and were, therefore,
purified by dialysis against ultrapure water (see below). The Ludox ® samples were diluted …

Background Population studies suggest that persons with diabetes are more sensitive to the
effects of particulate matter (PM) air pollution. However, the biological mechanisms of a …

… The suspensions dispersed at pH 2 were readjusted to pH 7–7.5 before size … with BSA, the
pH was readjusted to obtain a pH compatible with toxicological tests. At the same pH, 17 and …

Background Epidemiologic studies indirectly suggest that air pollution accelerates
atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that individual exposure to particulate matter (PM) derived from …
