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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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

The acute inhalation toxicity of silver nanoparticles was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats.
Seven-week-old rats, weighing approximately 218 g (males) and 153 g (females), were …

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 subchronic inhalation toxicity of silver nanoparticles was studied in Sprague-Dawley
rats. Eight-week-old rats, weighing approximately 253.2 g (males) and 162.6 g (females) …

In a previous study, the lung function, as indicated by the tidal volume, minute volume, and
peak inspiration flow, decreased during 90 days of exposure to silver nanoparticles and was …
