ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The literature summarized in this critical review includes a considerable number of papers that were
described previously in a review of metals toxicology in Inhalation Toxicology (Chen and Lippmann,
2009), and a critical review of inhalations studies in humans and animals with concentrated ambient
PM 2.5 (CAPs) (Lippmann and Chen, 2009). The author acknowledges the support received from a
Center Grant (ES 00260) from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
and from a research grant from the Health Effects Institute.
