To study the effects of nanomaterials after inhalation, a large number of in vitro lung models
have been reported in literature. Although the in vitro models contribute to the reduction of …

A number of studies have shown that induction of pulmonary toxicity by nanoparticles of the
same chemical composition depends on particle size, which is likely in part due to …

Background Although silver nanoparticles are currently used in more than 400 consumer
products, it is not clear to what extent they induce adverse effects after inhalation during …

Silver nanoparticles are one of the most prevalent nanomaterials in consumer products.
Some of these products are likely to be aerosolized, making silver nanoparticles a high …

Nanomaterials (NMs) solve specific problems with remarkable results in several industrial
and scientific areas. Among NMs, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been extensively …

Background There is increasing interest in the environmental and health consequences of
silver nanoparticles as the use of this material becomes widespread. Although human …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are the most commonly used nanoparticles (NPs) owing to
their anti-microbial properties, and the pulmonary system provides a major portal of entry for …

The present study was conducted to assess the toxicity of nanosized silver particles (Ag-
15nm, 30nm and 55nm) in rat alveolar macrophages. For toxicity evaluations, cellular …

Background Information on particle deposition, retention and clearance are important for the
evaluation of the risk of inhaled nanomaterials to human health. Recent revised OECD …

Recently revised OECD inhalation toxicity testing guidelines require measurements of lung
burden immediately after and for periods following exposure for nanomaterials. Lung burden …
