Evaluating pulmonary toxicity of engineered metal-based nanoparticles using in vivo and in vitro models

The overall goals of this doctoral dissertation were to 1) assess effects of nanoparticle (NP) exposure on host defense in a murine pulmonary infection model, 2) evaluate an integrated dynamic in vitro exposure system (DIVES) that overcomes limitations of submerged exposure systems for NP toxicity t...
