NAMSS Trainee Webinar Series
Take a Break and Explore Award-Winning Research from an SOT NAMSS 2025 Winner
Hosted by the SOT Nanoscience and Advanced Materials Specialty SectionSpeaker:
Gina Moreno, PhD, Research Scientist – Toxicologist, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
Winner of the 2025 NAMSS Outstanding Postdoctoral Award
During this webinar, we will hear from our NAMSS SOT 2025 awardees about their outstanding research and advancements in nanotoxicology.
Gina Moreno, PhD, will talk about "Method, Characterization, and Multiple Path Particle Dosimetry Modeling of Laboratory Inhalation Exposure for Micro-nanoplastics Particles in Rodents." She will share her study where they used whole body rodent inhalation facility and generated polyamide-12 (PA-12) aerosol and thoroughly characterized the aerosol. PA-12 was measured at three mass concentrations to represent environmental and occupational exposures. Size distributions were measured with a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS), an aerodynamic particle sizer (APS), and a high-resolution electrical low-pressure impactor (HR-ELPI+) over a size range of 10nm-20µm. The merged data revealed a bi- and tri-modal particle distribution in nano and micrometer size range. The data were then applied to multiple-path particle dosimetry (MPPD) modeling software to predict particle distribution in Sprague-Dawley rat and human respiratory models. This study provides a method for toxicological impacts of MNP inhalation exposures in silico.
