Pulmonary response to intratracheal instillation of ultrafine versus fine titanium dioxide: role of particle surface area

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The production and use of nanoparticles is growing rapidly due to the unique physical and chemical properties associated with their nano size and large surface area. Since nanoparticles have unique physicochemical properties, their b...
