What is it about?

In risk assessment, one of the challenges for environmental toxicologist has been development of fluid with properties similar to human tracheobronchial fluids,so as to enable systematic investigation into bioaccessibility and lung deposition of particles in the respiratory tracts.

Why is it important?

The data demonstrate that the fluid formulated in this study can provide a suitable means of evaluate bioaccessibility of trace elements-bound to airborne particulates.

Perspectives

The data could stimulate environmental concerns on impact of airborne particulates.
