Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) lack sufficient quality cytotoxicity, toxicity, genotoxicity and genomic data on which to make environmental and regulatory decisions. Therefore, we did a multidisciplinary in vitro study of 3 MWCNTs in human lung cells (BEAS-2B) w...

Abstract    Theories of disease pathogenesis following asbestos exposure have developed which focus on a participation of iron. These are integrated to provide a complete assessment of the relationship between asbestos and iron. After exposure, an open network of negati...

Chemicals found in our everyday environment may pose health risks to humans via various exposure pathways. For children of different lifestages, soil and dust ingestion may potentially be a major route of exposure to environmental chemicals such as lead, mercury, polychlorinated ...

CESER/HSMMD is conducting research to investigate the reaerosolization of surrogate bacterial spores in the Aerosol Test Facility and through field tests to determine the most representative air sampling methods to use for detection (characterization) and clearance of large outdo...

This abstract describes how triangulation-based methods were used to leverage available information using additional external information in the 2020 Risk Evaluation of Chrysotile Asbestos.

EPA evaluated the following categories of conditions of use of chrysotile asbestos in this draft risk evaluation: Manufacturing; processing; distribution in commerce; occupational and consumer uses; and disposal.
