Particle Platform

The Particle Platform is an industry initiative coordinated by CEFIC,in which all major particle producers are represented, driving by the common goal to obtain better tests for so-called poorly soluble low toxicity (PSLT) particles, containing important particle groups such as amorphous silica's, talc, kaolin and many others. Current test protocols for specific [...]

Inflammation and adversity

It took a while but finally our paper went online in Toxicology Letters. The paper emerged out of the SAS4REACH consortium in which we discussed the pathology outcome of 14 different particles after subchronic inhalation. The fact that inflammation occurs after most particle exposures is not new, and frustrating classification. However, [...]

UFP exposure near airport

As a toxicology expert I support environmental issues. Since a number of years I help concerned inhabitants of villages near Maastricht Aachen Airport (MAA). A number of people have been able to contract Sensornet to do measurements of ultrafine particles during 3 months in 2022. The results have been digested into [...]

Blue skies over MOMENTUM

On June 1st and 2nd the annual meeting of MOMENTUM took place in Scheveningen (NL). A consortium in which apart from basic research into effects of model and real-life particles, also solution sets are being explored. Nanoconsult is strongly involved in the solution set of Safe by (Bio)degradation and has contributed to [...]

Particles: the way forward

Looking forward to speak in Brussels on december 5th during the informal face-to-face meeting between CEFIC and representatives of the EU to discuss options for particle classification. My presentation will focus on a new way to look at the inflammatory response.

Breaking news: common sense seems to return!!

Yesterday breaking news on the former classification of TiO2 particles as a carcinogen was published. The European court annuls the former classification of TiO2 as a carcinogenic substance by inhalation in certain powder forms. Common sense seem to return and Nanoconsult praises the persistence of those who have continued debating this. Our [...]

Microplastics and Particle Paradigms

Happy to announce that the paper I wrote with Stephanie Wright (King's College, London, UK) will soon be published in Frontiers. It is an example of connecting different worlds in an effort to learn and accelerate robust interventions toward inhaled microplastics.  Nanoconsult: connecting solutions!
