TL;DR: Data are consistent with development of a hapten-specific, cell-mediated immune response following topical application of beryllium and suggest a mechanistic link between the persistent rate of bryllium worker sensitization and skin exposure to fine and ultrafine beryLLium particles.

TL;DR: The use of animal models and the ability to control the welding fume exposure in toxicology studies could be utilized in an attempt to develop a better understanding of how welding fumes affect pulmonary health.

TL;DR: The role that metals play in the pulmonary effects associated with welding fume exposure in workers and laboratory animals is reviewed.

TL;DR: Enhanced acute inflammation and pulmonary injury with delayed bacterial clearance after SWCNT exposure may lead to increased susceptibility to lung infection in exposed populations.

TL;DR: The cadmium-induced overexpression of cellular proto-oncogenes is mediated by the elevation of intracellular levels of superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and calcium and is dependent on transcriptional activation as well as on pathways involving protein kinase C and MAP kinase.
