Abstract:In order to study the impact of exposure to tungsten aerosol on brain toxicity, we designed a strategy to control the generation of tungsten aerosol with mass concentrations within the magnitude of the average occupational exposure limit value (5 to 10 mg.m-3).Due to such extreme density of tungsten particles, the challenge was to perform relevant measurements of aerosol characteristics needed for upper airways and lung deposition calculations. We mixed tungsten bead powder of coarse diameter with the powder o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
