Pulmonary toxicity of instilled silver nanoparticles: influence of size, coating and rat strain.

Pulmonary toxicity of instilled silver nanoparticles: influence of size, coating and rat strain.

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 effects of intratracheally-administered AgNPs (20 nm and 110 nm; polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and citrate-capped; 0.1 m...
