Soot

A dark powdery deposit of unburned fuel residues, composed mainly of amorphous CARBON and some HYDROCARBONS, that accumulates in chimneys, automobile mufflers and other surfaces exposed to smoke. It is the product of incomplete combustion of carbon-rich organic fuels in low oxygen conditions. It is sometimes called lampblack or carbon black and is used in INK, in rubber tires, and to prepare CARBON NANOTUBES.

1.	Lung Neoplasms (Lung Cancer) 05/01/2015 - "The present study evaluated the effect of aerobic exercise on the lung inflammatory and risk of lung cancer of rat exposed to PM10 carbon black. " 08/01/2007 - "In follow up to a British study of carbon black production workers [Sorahan et al., 2007] in which risk of lung cancer progressively declined after cessation of employment-in contrast to an expected upward trend-we evaluated the German cohort with a similar methodology, that is, by focusing on the first 15 years after leaving employment in terms of lung cancer SMR. " 08/01/2007 - "A cohort mortality study of a large carbon black production plant in Germany showed an elevation in lung cancer mortality (SMR 1.81 (95% CI: 1.34-2.39)), although the elevation could not be linked to exposure to carbon black. " 12/01/2006 - "We undertook a sensitivity analysis of the lung cancer standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) in a study of 1522 German carbon black workers from 1976 to 1998. " 12/01/2006 - "The objective of this study was to conduct a case-control study of lung cancer nested within a cohort of 1528 German carbon black workers, 1976-1998. "
2.	Pneumonia (Pneumonitis) 04/01/2003 - "In this study, we examined the effects of carbon black (CB) on RSV-induced pulmonary inflammation, chemokine and cytokine expression, and airway hyperresponsiveness in a mouse model of RSV. " 12/15/2015 - "Inhalation of carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs) causes pulmonary inflammation; however, time course data to evaluate the detailed evolution of lung inflammatory responses are lacking. " 06/01/2014 - "Inhalation of carbon black nanoparticles aggravates pulmonary inflammation in mice." 09/01/2006 - "We intratracheally administered vehicle, two sizes (14 nm, 56 nm) of carbon black nanoparticles (4 mg/kg) , LPS (2.5 mg/kg) , or LPS plus nanoparticles and evaluated parameters for lung inflammation and coagulation. " 04/01/2003 - "Ultrafine carbon black particles enhance respiratory syncytial virus-induced airway reactivity, pulmonary inflammation, and chemokine expression."
3.	Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) 02/22/2013 - "To prove the efficacy of a recently developed MMP activity-based probe, we examined the content in MMP active forms of bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALf) from male C57BL/6 mice exposed to ultrafine carbon black nanoparticles, a model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. " 04/01/2013 - "An interquartile range elevation in black carbon concentrations (0.97 × 10(-5)/m, equivalent to 0.78 μg/m(3) elemental carbon) was associated with a 6% (95% confidence interval, 2-10%) increase in COPD hospitalizations and a 7% (0-13%) increase in COPD mortality after adjustment for covariates. " 01/01/1984 - "Daily symptom rates in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and in other subjects with presumed high sensitivity to air pollution who lived near a coal-fired plant were compared with 24-hr ambient air concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, soot, and suspended particles as well as with emissions from the plant. "
4.	Carbon Monoxide Poisoning (Poisoning, Carbon Monoxide) 06/01/2000 - "Children extracted from a closed-space fire who had airway soot, singed facial hair/facial burns, or respiratory distress were defined as having smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning (CO/SI). " 01/01/1992 - "The postmortem findings of soot in the airway and elevated carbon monoxide in the blood of most of these victims [the carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) concentration was in one case less than 10%, in ten cases greater than or equal to 10 to 50%, and in seven cases greater than 50%] were helpful in determining that the individuals were not only alive at the time of the fire but also that a significant number died from smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning. "
5.	Dehydration (Water Stress) 04/01/2013 - "Therefore, it may be concluded that small-sized SAPO-34 molecular sieves with high mesoporosity can be produced efficiently with microwave irradiation in the presence of carbon black template, and the molecular sieves are effective in the stable dehydration of alcohols."
