RNA Sequencing Reveals Inflammatory and Metabolic Changes in the Lung and Brain After Carbon Black and Naphthalene Whole Body Inhalation Exposure in a Rodent Model of Military Burn Pit Exposures
2025-06-13
Abstract excerpt
Military personnel deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan were exposed to emissions from open-air burn pits, where plastics, metals, and medical waste were incinerated. These exposures have been linked to deployment-related respiratory diseases (DRRD) and may also impact neurological health via the lung–brain axis. To investigate molecular mechanisms, adult male rats were exposed to filtered air, naphthalene (a represen...
