Journal ArticleDOI
Retention and clearance of inhaled submicron carbon black particles
TL;DR: Results showed that when lung burdens reached 0.8 mg, lung clearance was decreased by 50% and lymphatic transport of insoluble particles was increased, and this led to a rise in lymph node burdens to 1%, 21%, and 27% of the initial lung burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary Retention of Inhaled Submicron Particles in Rats: Diesel Exhaust Exposures and Lung Retention Model
TL;DR: There is good agreement between the data and the predicted lung and lymph node burdens in a new compartmental model of particle retention in the lungs.

Tunable impedance load-bearing structures
Alan L. Browne,Nancy L. Johnson,Nilesh D. Mankame,Paul W. Alexander,Hanif Muhammad,Kenneth A. Strom,James W. Wells +6 more
TL;DR: A tunable impedance load bearing structure includes a support comprising an active material configured for supporting a load, wherein the active material undergoes a change in a property upon exposure to an activating condition as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A spectrophotometric method for the quantitation of diesel exhaust particles in guinea pig lung
Colette J. Rudd,Kenneth A. Strom +1 more
TL;DR: The paper describes the use of light extinction for quantitating diesel particles in aqueous suspension and finds a concentration‐dependent increase in the total amount of particles per lung for guinea pigs exposed to 0, 269, 813 and 1530 μg m−3 diesel particles for 6 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of pulmonary cellular defenses to the inhalation of high concentrations of diesel exhaust.
TL;DR: Bronchopulmonary lavage was used to obtain pulmonary phagocytes from the animals in order to study the response of the phagocytic defenses to the inhaled particulate in rats exposed to three concentrations of diluted diesel exhaust for 6 mo and 1 yr.
