Mounting evidence suggests that the central nervous system (CNS) is also vulnerable to the adverse health effects that are associated with air pollution.

Short- and Long-Term Consequences of Exposure to Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

Short- and Long-Term Consequences of Exposure to Metal Oxide NanoparticlesEngineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are diverse in terms of their chemistry and morphology, thus presenting a challenge in understanding risks to human health following occupational or environmental exposures. The major routes of exposure for ENMs include skin, ingestion, and inhalation.
