Investigators publish new data in the report 'Development of a physiologically based kinetic model for 99m-Technetium-labelled carbon nanoparticles inhaled by humans.' "Particulate air pollution is associated with respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent studies investigated whether and to which extent inhaled ultrafine particles are able to translocate into the bloodstream in humans," scientists in Verneuil-en-Halatte, France report (see also Physiology).
"However, their conclusions were conflicting. We developed a physiologically based kinetic model for (99m)technetium-labelled carbon nanoparticles (Technegas). The model was designed to ...
