Inhalation Sciences helps leading research on breathing in metal nanoparticles: Will dissolution testing become mandatory?
More industrial processes than ever are using nanoparticle. Yet many questions remain about the health consequences of inhaling them. Not just in our lungs but at a cellular, even genetic level. Karolinska Institutet doctoral researcher Sarah Mccarrick is using Inhalation Sciences equipment to test how copper and copper oxide nanoparticles impact us.Nanoparticles offer a world of advantages to industrial process manufacturers. But what happens when we breathe them in? Inhalation researcher Sarah Mccarrick has joined the Institute of Environmental Medicine team at Karolinska Institutet,
