  2. BACKGROUND • Nanohealth research consortium • University of Kuopio • University of Helsinki • Finnish Institute of Occupational Health • Objectives • controlled production of engineered nanoparticles • exposure assessment in occupational environments • adverse effects of nanoparticles • airway irritation and changes in the respiratory patterns • inflammatory responses of the lungs and pulmonary cells • genotoxicity Mirella Miettinen M.Sc., Research Scientist

  3. EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP • flow reactor • Ti(C3H7O)4 liquid precursor in bubbler • N2 carrier gas • Ti(C3H7O)4 → TiO2 + 4C3H6 + 2H2O • dilution with dry and humified air • size distributions: SMPS (3071A DMA+3022A CPC) • gaseous byproducts: FTIR (GASMETTM) • mass concentration: filter samples (Teflon,Gelman) • TEM, XRD, BET heat Mirella Miettinen M.Sc., Research Scientist
