This study generated soot UFPs with similar cores but varying chemical loads (e.g., PAHs) and tested them on A549 cells in ALI systems. Higher PAH content increased xenobiotic metabolism, showing chemical composition's role. Soot and copper UFPs, matched physically, revealed higher-than-predicted mass deposition in ALI systems, highlighting model limitations. The method enables precise UFP property control, advancing reproducible toxicity assessments.<eng> Open Access Urheberrechtsschutz 1.0 vorgelegt von Anusmita Das Der Volltext der Zeitschriftenartikel ist nur in der Druckausgabe vorhanden GutachterInnen: Ralf Zimmermann (University of Rostock, Institute of Chemistry) ; Konstantinos Eleftheriadis (Ethniko Kentro Ereunas Physikon Epistemon Demokritos, Athens, GR) Dissertation Universität Rostock 2025 Kumulative Dissertation 500 540 551.5113 550 https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00004910 https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00004910 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00004910-8 https://d-nb.info/137653908X/34 Generation and characterization of ultrafine particles in laboratory studies and their mass deposition at the air-liquid interface--(DE-627)1935437402 urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00004910-8 doi: 10.18453/rosdok_id00004910 oclc: 1535521979 ppn: (DE-627)1935435108
