This dataset provides information about how short-term inhalation of burn pit smoke particles, specifically plastic smoke particles, causes significant toxicity in human nasal epithelial cells and how toxicity caused by inhaled emissions from plastic incinerations could contribute to the development of sinonasal disease associated with burn pits and other environmental particulate matter exposures.
This dataset is associated with the following publication:
Rogers, K., E. WaMaina, A. Barber, S. Masood, C. Love, Y.H. Kim, M. Gilmour, and i. Jaspers. Emissions from plastic incineration induce inflammation, oxidative stress, and impaired bioenergetics in primary human respiratory epithelial cells. TOXICOLOGICAL SCIENCES. Society of Toxicology, RESTON, VA, 199(2): 301-315, (2024).
