The antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles has resulted in their widespread use in
many consumer products. However, despite the continuing increase in the population …

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 …

The antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles has resulted in their extensive application in
health, electronic, and home products. Thus, the exposed population continues to increase …

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) …

To investigate the effects of repeated silver nanoparticle exposure on the nasal septum
respiratory mucosa, 6-week-old SD rats were exposed to silver nanoparticles at …

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 …

The growing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products raises concerns
about potential health effects. This study investigated the persistence and clearance of 2 …

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 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 …

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 …
