Reduction of Acute Inflammatory Effects of Fumed Silica Nanoparticles

Reduction of Acute Inflammatory Effects of Fumed Silica Nanoparticles - Author Andre Nel discusses uses of fumed silca in two different circumstances: in coffee creamer (considered safe by the FDA,) and in the lab under the fume hood with protective gear. Author Bingbing Sun further describes motivations for the study and discusses the finding that the acute inflammatory responses of fumed silica particles in the lungs can be reduced by metal doping
