The various biological paths and, consequently, the different outcomes in the health risks associated with inhaled, micron-sized particle and fibers, as well as inhaled nanoparticles, are explained on the basis of form, size, and surface reactivity. The most relevant surface properties addressed here are the potential for free radical generation, the adsorption of endogenous molecules, and the degree of hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the various materials.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Concern exists for potential acute and/or chronic multiorgan toxicities from lunar dust exposure given known deleterious effects of terrestrial particulate matter and mineral dusts such as quartz.

    “Given the known deleterious effects of exposure to terrestrial particulate matter as well as some mineral dusts such as quartz, concern exists for the potential of acute and/or chronic multiorgan toxicities10–12.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
