  2. 1. Health-related aerosol particle studies, respiratory tract deposition and indoor source identification

    Author : Jakob Löndahl; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aerosol particle; health; ultrafine particles; nanoparticle; deposition; respiratory tract; Fysicumarkivet A:000;

    Abstract : Aerosol particles have, since Classical Antiquity, been linked to adverse effects on human health. It is estimated that the particles in urban air pollution causes 100 000 deaths in Europe each year, whereof 5 000 in Sweden. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Study on Particle Motion and Deposition Rate : Application in Steel Flows

    Author : Peiyuan Ni; Pär Jönsson; Lage Jonsson; Mikael Ersson; Stein Tore Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; steel flow; ladle teeming; continuous casting; non-metallic inclusion behavior; particle deposition; nozzle clogging; numerical simulation.;

    Abstract : Non-metallic inclusions in molten steel have received worldwide attention due to their serious influence on both the steel product quality and the steel production process. These inclusions may come from the de-oxidation process, the re-oxidation by air and/or slag due to an entrainment during steel transfer, and so on. READ MORE

  5. 3. Experimental Determination of the Deposition of Aerosol Particles in the Human Respiratory Tract

    Author : Jakob Löndahl; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticles; deposition; respiratory tract; health; air pollution; aerosol particle; ultrafine particles; lung; Fysicumarkivet A:000;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Aerosol particles have, since the antiquity, been linked to adverse effects on human health. It is estimated that the particles in urban air pollution cause at least 100,000 deaths in Europe each year, whereof 5,000 in Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 4. Particle transport in human lung : effects of particle size and shape

    Author : Sofie Högberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Recent studies have shown that nanoparticles may be more toxic than larger particles of the same material, but the health risks associated with widespread use largely depend on the extent of exposure. When dealing with potentially toxic particles, precautionary measures have to be taken in order to minimize contact. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modeling colloidal nanoparticles: From growth to deposition

    Author : Joakim Löfgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gold; DLVO; thermodynamics; van der Waals; density functional theory; modeling; deposition; dispersive interactions; anisotropic; colloidal nanoparticles; nanorods;

    Abstract : In recent decades metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been the subject of intense research. The interest stems from the NPs physicochemical properties that can be conveniently tuned through, e.g., their size, shape or composition. READ MORE
