Despite numerous possible applications, the potential impact of Carbon Engineered Nanomaterials (CEN) on human health, particularly after exposure by inhalation, is still questioned. However, accurate quantification of CEN in the respiratory…

Due to their physical and chemical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are among the most promising nanomaterials in terms of industrial use. In order to assess their toxicological properties, inhalation experiments performed in laboratory…

Due to the growing use of nanoparticles in industrial processes, the number of workers potentially exposed is increasing while the toxicological effects of these compounds have not been fully characterized yet. Because inhalation represents…

Some volatile aromatic solvents have similar or opposite effects to anesthetics in the central nervous system. Like for anesthetics, the mechanisms of action involved are currently the subject of debate. The purpose of this in vivo study was…

Aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, styrene, xylenes, ethylbenzene …) are among the most widely used chemicals in industry. Some of their urinary acid metabolites are classically used to assess the occupational exposure of workers to these solvents…

Among polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), fluorene is a highly volatile compoundbeing one of the most abundant in air. Because significant fluorene concentrations have been measured in the breast milk of non-smoking women, the risk for…
