Burn pit smoke condensate-mediated toxicity in human nasal epithelial cells

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-12-19
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).
