Exposure of humans to metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) occurs mainly via air, and inhaled metal oxide NPs may generate inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the proinflammatory potential of six metal oxide NPs (CeO2, Mn2O3, CuO, ZnO, Co3O4 and WO3; 27–108 μg ml−1) using human primary 3-dimensional airway epithelium (MucilAir™)...

The epithelium that covers the conducting airways and alveoli is a primary target for inhaled toxic substances, and therefore a focus in inhalation toxicology. The increasing concern about the use of animal models has stimulated the development of in vitro cell culture models for analysis of the biological effects of inhaled toxicants. However,...

Particulate matter exposure may cause adverse health effects. Although ultrafine particulate matter (UFP) is hypothesised to be particularly health relevant, the number of studies into personal UFP exposure is limited. Aim To increase insight where and when most UFP exposure occurs, in terms of exposure levels and peaks in microenvironments,...

Oxidative potential (OP) has been suggested as a health-relevant measure of air pollution. Little information is available about OP spatial variation and the possibility to model its spatial variability. Our aim was to measure the spatial variation of OP within and between 10 European study areas. The second aim was to develop land use...

Photonics emerged in the 1960s and 1970s from work on semiconductor light emitters, lasers and optical fibres. Nanoscale effects impact on photonics, e.g. in the surface quality of waveguides and optical fibres. The focus here remains as closely as possible on photonics as it relates to nanotechnology, e.g. where nanotechnology enhances...

New ways to diagnose and treat diseases are being sought to address the increasingly global societal challenge of achieving healthy and long life for as many as possible. In Europe, goals have been set to raise by two years the length of the average healthy lifespan of Europeans by 2020. Cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes were...

Nanotechnology manufacturing in this project includes both nanotools and nanomaterials. The tools can be used for manufacture at the nanoscale (e.g. lithography and imprint tools) or for measurement at the nanoscale (e.g. atomic force microscopes). Nanomaterials include solid particles, thin films, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene,...

The application of home automation in “smart homes” has been successful from a technological point of view. In practice, however, few projects seem able to survive after the initial financing period has ended, failing to establish a positive business case. This chapter addresses why the positive business case for smart homes is hard to establish...
