Case studies
1) Mineralogy of bones: Phosphates- chemical-physical characterists in organic and inorganic environments. Factors affecting the growt. Mdofication of crystallization procesi on pathologies.
2)Fine atmospheric dust (fine vitrous and mineral aggregates, fibrous mineral). Respirability-inhalability concept
Toxic potential of:
a. Asbestos
b. Man Made mineral fibers
c. crystalline phases of silica
d. Volcanic ashes and health
e. fly and bottom ashes from coal and biomas
Phase trasfprmation and change in toxic potential of material during the employment (effect of stress, temperature, pressure)
Action mechanism of materials in lung (small bodies)
4) Ceramic in biomedical field
5) Clays for innovative and biocompatible farmaci
