The unique hazard posed to the pleural mesothelium by asbestos has engendered concern
in potential for a similar risk from high aspect ratio nanoparticles (HARN) such as carbon …

Graphene is a new nanomaterial with unusual and useful physical and chemical properties.
However, in the form of nanoplatelets this new, emerging material could pose unusual risks …

The fibrous shape of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) raises concern that they may pose an
asbestos-like inhalation hazard, leading to the development of diseases, especially mesothelioma. …

Carbon nanotubes are a valuable industrial product but there is potential for human pulmonary
exposure during production and their fibrous shape raises the possibility that they may …

Background There has been concern regarding risks from inhalation exposure to nanoparticles
(NPs). The large number of particles requiring testing means that alternative approaches …

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are high aspect ratio nanoparticles with diameters in the nanometre
range but lengths extending up to hundreds of microns. The structural similarities between …

Suspicion has been raised that high aspect ratio nanoparticles or nanofibers might possess
asbestos-like pathogenicity. The pleural space is a specific target for disease in individuals …

This study aimed to ascertain whether nursing students’ perceptions of caring behaviours as
part of nursing practice change over a three-year, pre-registration, undergraduate nursing …

High aspect ratio, or fiber-shaped, nanoparticles (HARNs) represent a growth area in
nanotechnology as their useful properties become more apparent. Carbon nanotubes, the best …

Drawing on our experiences of delivering a web-based questionnaire to a group of pre-registration
nursing students, this paper explores the advantages and disadvantages of …
