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

Exposure to wet aerosols generated during use of spray products containing silver (Ag) has
not been evaluated. The goal was to assess the potential for cardiopulmonary toxicity …

Although environmental airborne silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) levels in occupational and
environmental settings are harmful to humans, the precise toxic effects at the portal entry of …

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 …

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) …

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