Spray cleaning and disinfection products have been associated with adverse respiratory
effects in professional cleaners and among residents doing domestic cleaning. This review …

The toxicity of some per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), such as perfluorooctane
sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been studied thoroughly, showing …

Inhaled substances, such as consumer products, chemicals at the workplace, and
nanoparticles, can affect the lung function in several ways. In this paper, we explore the …

The lungs have potential as a means of systemic drug delivery of macromolecules. Systemic
delivery requires crossing of the air-blood barrier, however with molecular size-dependent …

Consumer spray products release aerosols that can potentially be inhaled and reach the
deep parts of the lungs. A thin layer of liquid, containing a mixture of proteins and lipids …

Private consumers and professionals may experience acute inhalation toxicity after inhaling
aerosolized impregnation products. The distinction between toxic and non-toxic products is …

With the intention to move away from animal testing for the toxicological evaluation of
chemicals comes the need to develop new approach methodologies which are mechanism …

People can be exposed to zinc oxide (ZnO) by inhalation of consumer products or during
industrial processes. Zinc oxide nanoparticle (NP) exposure can induce acute inhalation …

Inhaled chemicals can harm the airways. Different effects can result in distinct changes in
respiratory patterns; the type of change indicates where and how the respiratory system is …

Within the deep lung, pulmonary surfactant coats the air-liquid interface at the surface of the
alveoli. This complex mixture of amphiphilic molecules and proteins modifies the surface …
