In August 2008, Plan, the magazine of the engineers of the Province of Quebec, has interviewed Dr. Karim Maghni about nanoparticles and asthma. In the October issue of Plan, Dr Maghni noticed, “Although some nanoparticles increase allergenic sensitization and allergic airway responses other nanoparticles may have therapeutic applications as for the treatment of asthma.” Dr Maghni also mentioned in the article, the Quebecer Community in Nanotoxicology, the Research Network in Health and Security in the Workplace of Quebec, and TITNT and its financial support by the MDEIE.
