Nano Particle Toxicity Assessment System
- Most accurate and versatile nano particle sampling for environmental testing
Final Decision Maker: nano particle manufacturers and environmental testing labs
The nano particle toxicity assessment system provides 1000 times more accurate toxicity testing than existing techniques. This is possible because cell cultures are exposed to an exact count of airborne nano particles of a specified size. Because it is so accurate, the system is ideal for rapidly testing the health effects of very small particles without the need for animal testing. Current methods of using a jet of inert gas to direct particles to cells are not effective for nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are so small that they are diverted around the cell culture along with the gas molecules. Dissolving and dispersing nanoparticles in a liquid solvent solution then exposing cells to the solution is another current option. This does not accurately model the exposure of the cells to actual particles in the air. The toxicity measurements are 1000 time more accurate because cell cultures are exposed to an exact count of particles of a specified size using the Nano Particle Toxicity Assessment System. The particles are counted using a commercially available particle counter, and positively charged as a gas jet flows the particles into the test chamber. Electrodes near the cell cultures are negatively charged so that as the positively charged nano particles flow over the cell cultures they are attracted and all deposited in the culture. By using different configurations of electrodes the size of the particles deposited can be controlled.This system can be used to study and quantify the health effects of particulate pollution, especially nanoparticles. This subject is gaining in importance and there are pending US regulations for sub 1 micron (nano) particles. The European Union has regulations in this area pending for 2010. A prototype has been built and used for proof-of-concept and the results of its application have been reviewed by experts in the field and published in a peer reviewed journal. This inventor has 13 years of experience in this field. He has been committed to the development of technology for the analysis of organic nano particles and particulate pollution to address relevant issues regarding environmental and human health. He has received research support from NSF, DOD, EPSCoR, Society for Mass Spectrometry, NASA, and EPA.
