Particle size and surface chemistry are potential determinants of silver nanoparticle (AgNP)
respiratory toxicity that may also depend on the lung inflammatory state. We compared the …

The growing use of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in consumer products raises concerns
about their toxicological potential. The purpose of the study was to investigate the size-and …

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) can be found in myriad consumer products, medical
equipment/supplies, and public spaces. However, questions remain regarding the risks …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) have been associated with the exacerbation of airway
hyperresponsiveness. However, the allergenicity and toxicology of AgNP in healthy and …

The health effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have not been well investigated, despite
AgNPs now being widely used in consumer products. We investigated the metabolic …

Silver nanoparticle (Ag NP) production methods are being developed and refined to
produce more uniform Ag NPs through chemical reactions involving silver salt solutions …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are among the most promising nanomaterials, and their usage
in medical applications and consumer products is growing rapidly. To evaluate possible …

Multiple studies have examined the direct cellular toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).
However, the lung is a complex biological system with multiple cell types and a lipid-rich …

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 …
