Book Chapter—This invited contribution is the concluding chapter of this important reference book. It brings together concepts discussed in preceding chapters so that the reader understands how to quantify and apply reliable findings in health risk assessment decisions.

This presentation will support a platform talk that describes the application of toxicity findings to assess the risk of chemical exposures. it will focus on inhalation exposures to irritant chemicals, with respect to developing and quantifying the health impact of adverse effec...

Report: This report has been completed under a peer review plan that included internal technical review and external peer review. It distinguishes the types of chemical risk information necessary to support emergency response decisions and emphasizes the importance of having adv...

Nanocomposite membranes (NCMs) of sodium alginate/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) blend polymers incorporated with varying concentrations of phosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40) (PWA) nanoparticles have been prepared and used in ethanol dehydration by the pervaporation (PV) technique. Effe...

There is a growing need to examine the potential toxicity of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) to establish regulations protective of environmental health and safety. During a series of experiments to evaluate the toxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on terrestrial pla...

Recent research on the acute effects of volatile organic compounds (VQCs) suggests that extrapolation from short (~ 1 h) to long durations (up to 4 h) may be improved by using estimates of brain toluene concentration (Br[Tol]) instead of cumulative inhaled dose (C x t) as a metri...
