Introduction: Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) have been reported to induce pulmonary
inflammation and altered breathing rates in rodents however the mechanisms are poorly …

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 …

Background The increasing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products is
concerning. We examined the potential toxic effects when inhaled in Brown-Norway (BN) …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …
