Reduction of Acute Inflammatory Effects of Fumed Silica Nanoparticles

Full Title: Reduction of Acute Inflammatory Effects of Fumed Silica Nanoparticles in the Lung by Adjusting Silanol Display through Calcination and Metal Doping

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.
