Funded Activity Summary

A Multiscale Modelling Platform for Nanoparticle Inhalation Risk Assessment. This project aims to explore the health risks caused by nanoparticle inhalation and its penetration through respiratory mucus and tissue cells. Exposure to nanoparticles has the potential to cause serious and possibly fatal health effects. An understanding of nanoparticle toxicology would enable us to appropriately protect the public’s health and safety. The project plans to consider human respiratory anatomy and physiology and use advanced computer modelling and experimental techniques to evaluate the health risk of exposure to the burgeoning number of nanomaterials found in consumer products. The expected outcome of the project is a predictive tool that determines nanoparticle exposure risk and its health consequences.
