Inhalation Toxicology

Respiratory toxicology relates to target organ toxicity, whereas inhalation toxicology refers to exposure mode. Exposure in inhalation toxicology is quantified as a concentration (compound mass per unit of air). Studies on inhalation toxicology offer a crucial foundation for assessing a material’s hazardous potential. Toxic substances breathed can cause lung illness and, if the chemical is translocated to other organs, disease in those organs as well. This is referred to as inhalation toxicology. Inhalation toxicology studies provide an essential basis for evaluating the toxic potential of a material. Inhaling gases, vapors, and aerosols can have various adverse health impacts, from minor annoyance to severe illnesses. Concern for human health is develo** due to the numerous chemicals and complex mixes found in indoor and outdoor air and the development of novel materials like nanoparticles and nanofibers. Inhalation toxicology studies are conducted either in vitro or in vivoto...
