3D printers are increasingly run at home. Nanoparticle emissions from those printers have been reported, which raises the question whether adverse health effects from ultrafine particles (UFP) can be elicited by 3D printers. We exposed 26 healthy adults in a single-blinded, randomized, cross-over design to emissions of a desktop 3D printer using fused deposition modeling (FDM) for 1hour (high UFP-emitting acrylonitrile butadiene styrene [ABS] vs low-emitting polylactic acid [PLA]). Before and after exposures, cytokines (IL-1 beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, INF-gamma) and ECP in nasal secretions, exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), urinary 8-isoprostaglandin F-2 alpha (8-iso PGF(2 alpha)), and self-reported symptoms were assessed. The exposures had no significant differential effect on 8-iso PGF(2 alpha) and nasal biomarkers. However, there was a difference (P
