  2. 1. Synthesis of carbon-covered iron nanoparticles by photolysis of ferrocene

    Author : Karine Elihn; Knut Deppert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; iron; carbon; nanoparticle; ferrocene; laser-assisted CVD; particle size; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : One important driving force in nanotechnology today is the change which can be made in the properties of a material when the dimensions of its individual building blocks are decreased below approximately 100 nm. Such small building blocks, typically nanoparticles, may induce new and unique properties compared to those of the corresponding bulk material. READ MORE

  4. 2. Development and comparison of in vitro toxicity methods for nanoparticles : Focus on lung cell exposure

    Author : Siiri Latvala; Karine Elihn; Hanna Karlsson; Lennart Möller; Hannu Norppa; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Concerns for the toxic effects of airborne nanoparticles have been raised along with the increasing production of nanostructured materials. However, the health risks of nanoparticle exposure are currently not fully understood. The most commonly used techniques to study nanoparticle toxicity, both in vivo and in vitro, have several limitations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Measuring Elemental Carbon in Occupational Environments

    Author : Anna Wallén; Hans-Christen Hansson; Göran Lidén; Karine Elihn; Thomas Kuhlbusch; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Diesel Exhaust Particles; Thermo-Optical Analysis; Black Carbon; Pyrolytic Carbon; Wood Smoke Particles; Water Soluble Organic Compounds; Asphalt Paving Work; Bio Fuels; Subway Aerosol; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Carbonaceous aerosol particles from combustion, such as diesel exhaust particles (DEP), harm human health and affect the Earth’s radiative system.Elemental carbon (EC) has been proposed to be used as a marker of DEP. READ MORE
