Yeah, those NIH databases are a bitch.
Should have never given the sheep access to them.

Cleaning at Home and at Work in Relation to Lung Function Decline and Airway Obstruction.

Regular use of cleaning sprays has an impact on lung health comparable with smoking a pack of cigarettes every day, according to a new study.
The research followed more than 6,000 people over a 20 year period and found women in particular suffered significant health problems after long-term use of these products.
Lung function decline in women working as cleaners or regularly using cleaning products at home was comparable to smoking 20 cigarettes a day over 10 to 20 years.

Last, we will describe exciting complementary advances at the frontier between nanoelectronics and biology – “nano-bioelectronics” – including nanowire probes capable of intracellular recording and stimulation at scales heretofore not possible with existing passive electrical measurements, and an ‘out-of-the-box’ look at what the future might hold in terms of merging nanoelectronic circuits with cell networks in three dimensions to ‘synthesize’ cyborg tissues and cyborg organisms. The prospects for blurring the distinction between nanoelectronic circuitry, computation and living systems in the future will be highlighted.
It's wild shit.
Advances in nanowire bioelectronics

Abstract
Semiconductor nanowires represent powerful building blocks for next generation bioelectronics given their attractive properties, including nanometer-scale footprint comparable to subcellular structures and bio-molecules, configurable in nonstandard device geometries readily interfaced with biological systems, high surface-to-volume ratios, fast signal responses, and minimum consumption of energy.
