List of scientific presentations

Due to the growing use of nanoparticles in industrial processes, the number of workers potentially exposed is increasing while the toxicological properties of these compounds are not fully known. Inhalation represents the main route of occupational…

Scavenging aerosol particles by means of water sprays is an efficient way of removing hazardous dust from the atmosphere. Starting from the work of Wang et al. (1978), we propose to extend its formulation of a theoretical scavenging kernel to particles…

The work presented here proposes a model to predict the NCl3 concentration over time in a traditional indoor swimming pool, based on its operating parameters and attendance. The approach used relies on the chemical kinetics of NCl3 formation…

Les mycotoxines font l'objet d'une surveillance très attentive pour la sécurité des consommateurs mais leur dangerosité justifie également que les expositions professionnelles soient évaluées lorsque des salariés manipulent des denrées ou matériaux…

Biological monitoring (BM), also called biomonitoring, is one of the three important tools in the prevention of diseases due to the toxic agents in the general or occupational environment, the other two being air monitoring and health surveillance…

Notwithstanding potential neurotoxicity of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs), the toxicokinetics and consequences on blood brain barrier (BBB) functions remain poorly characterized. We previously described the biodistribution…

Testing and assessment of chemicals for their endocrine disruption properties are a major concern for chemical safety. Besides regulatory studies which use standard markers (e.g. anogenital distance), more targeted mode of action studies can…

Pyrethroids are among the most commonly used classes of insecticides worldwide. Human exposure to pyrethroids is widespread, as evidenced by the presence of their metabolites in urine of adults, children, and pregnant and lactating women among…

Ultrafine particles are generated by many manufacturing processes: surface processing and coating (thermal spraying ...), machining (drilling, rectification ...), combustion welding, and cutting of metals etc...
The development of suitable protection…

In granular flows, when the solid volume fraction is large, the dynamic behaviour of particles becomes controlled by frictional effects. Theoretically these effects can not be taken into account in an Eulerian approach, based on the kinetic theory…
