Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the in vivo and in vitro toxicity of silver and gold particulates: Particle attributes and biological mechanisms responsible for the observed toxicity
Helinor Jane Johnston,Gary R Hutchison,Frans M Christensen,Sheona Peters,S. M. Hankin,Vicki Stone +5 more
TL;DR: This review is concerned with evaluating the toxicity associated with human exposure to silver and gold nanoparticles (NPs), due to the relative abundance of toxicity data available for these particles, when compared to other metal particulates.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review of the biological mechanisms underlying the in vivo and in vitro toxicity of carbon nanotubes: The contribution of physico-chemical characteristics
Helinor Jane Johnston,Gary R Hutchison,Frans M Christensen,Sheona Peters,S. M. Hankin,Karin Aschberger,Vicki Stone +6 more
TL;DR: CNTs are a group of materials whose useful exploitable properties prompts their increased production and utilization within diverse applications, so that ensuring their safety is of vital importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of carbon nanotubes toxicity and exposure—Appraisal of human health risk assessment based on open literature
Karin Aschberger,Helinor Jane Johnston,Vicki Stone,Robert Aitken,Steven M. Hankin,Sheona Peters,C. Lang Tran,Frans M Christensen +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the main risks for humans arise from chronic occupational inhalation, especially during activities involving high CNT release and uncontrolled exposure and gaps in the data set in relation to both exposure and hazard do not allow any definite conclusions suitable for regulatory decision-making.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the mechanisms that drive the toxicity of TiO(2 )particulates: the contribution of physicochemical characteristics.
Helinor Jane Johnston,Gary R Hutchison,Frans M Christensen,Sheona Peters,S. M. Hankin,Vicki Stone +5 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on outlining the toxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) particulates in vitro and in vivo, in order to understand their ability to detrimentally impact on human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of fullerene toxicity and exposure--appraisal of a human health risk assessment, based on open literature.
Karin Aschberger,Helinor Jane Johnston,Vicki Stone,Robert Aitken,C. Lang Tran,Steven M. Hankin,Sheona Peters,Frans M Christensen +7 more
TL;DR: The current dataset on fullerenes in relation to both, human exposure and hazard is limited and does not allow reaching any definite conclusions suitable for regulatory decision making.
