When testing potential hazardous substances at low concentrations, extended exposure durations are essential to realistically assess long-term effects. This is especially critical in environmental inhalation research, where aerosol concentrations – indoors or outdoors – are often too low to yield observable effects in typical 1-6 hour exposure durations.
A big step ahead has now been made! For the first time, a research group at the Helmholtz Munich has successfully conducted several 72-hour nonstop ALI exposures, using VITROCELL Automated Exposure Station Technology.
Their findings, published in the journal Environmental Research, demonstrate how this automated system enables stable, long-term aerosol exposures for in-depth toxicological studies.
