Abstract Optical microscopy (OM), semi-contact atomic force microscopy (sc-AFM), and
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were applied to examine cells in the broncho …

We used stable water suspensions of copper oxide particles with mean diameter 20 nm and
of particles containing copper oxide and element copper with mean diameter 340 nm to …

We studied purposefully produced silver, gold, iron oxide, copper oxide, nickel oxide,
manganese oxide, lead oxide, and zinc oxide nanoparticles using two experimental …

We studied differences between phagocytic responses to nanoparticles (NPs) versus
microparticles in the pulmonary region by synthesizing magnetite of different sizes and …

Aqueous suspension of magnetite nanoparticles with primary diameter of 10 nm were
intratracheally administered into rat lungs. In 24 h, cells were isolated from bronchoalveolar …

We have observed that nano-size metal particles such as nickel (Nano-Ni), cobalt (Nano-
Co), and titanium dioxide (Nano-TiO2) have much more toxic effects on rat lungs than …

Particulate matter is associated with different human diseases affecting organs such as the
respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Very small particles (nanoparticles) have been …

Nanoparticles (NPs) have a greater potential to travel through an organism via inhalation
than any other larger particles, and could be more toxic due to their larger surface area and …

Industrial production generates aerosols of complex composition, including an ultrafine
fraction. This is typical for mining and metallurgical industries, welding processes, and the …

The use of nanoparticles (NPs) has increased in the past few years in various fields,
including defence, aerospace, electronics, biology, medicine, and so forth. and in …
