ddt 26 Flashcards
— are natural or synthetic objects with dimensions in the sub micrometer range (nanoscale external dimensions ) and can be formed from one or more objects
nanoparticle
— nanoparticle designed for a sepififc purpose
— nanoparticle interntioanlly made
— nanoparticle generated as unimential byproduct of all process
- engineered
- manufactured
- incidental
we are exposed to nanoparticles in — because its a common feature
some are —- produces as —
and some are —
other like:
- our everyday life such as sand , toothpaste deodorant
- unintentionally , air pollution
- engineered and used in different applications
- atmospheric aerosols ( from micrometer as dust and fine dust to nanometre as ultrafine dust ) flow
- airborne particles as industrial exhaust fumes , debris and exhaust from traffic
-air pollution - tobacco smoke
- food chains as titanium dioxide to make the food white
where do nanoparticles that we inhale or eat end up in our body ?
they are — dependent deposition
- they are size dependent deposition , the smaller PM , the deeper it will penetrates into the lungs
- as: Ca 1% of inhaled PM is not inhaled but stays in the lung
the major clearance pathways are —
- musciciliary escalator ( tracheobronchial )
- phagocytosis by macrophage ( alveoli )
they escape from the — into the —- or —
- lungs
- lymphatic system or circulation
the translocation of the nanoparticle across the major protective barrier in the body depends on —–
size and the surface properties of the particles
particles can cross the protective barrier as the lungs epithelium and endothelium of the lymphatic or blood vessels if their size is —- and the surface are is —–
- less than 34 nm in size
- not possibly charged ( aka non cationic )
very small particles as less than 6nm are quickly cleared by the — and secreted into —
- kidney
- urine
asborbed nanoparticles can travel to—- and affect their function and they can cross —–
such as:
peripheral organs , natural barrier as blood brain barrier
- tobacco smoke reduces the level of enzyme monoamine oxidase ( MOA )
microscope particles are taken by —-
- phagocytosis via macrophage ( > 760 nm while pinocytosis is <2000nm)
small nanoparticles can be taken by many cell types by —
- endocytosis ( less than 100nm)
