Kinetic time courses of inhaled silver nanoparticles in rats

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are priority substances closely monitored by health and safety agencies. Despite their extensive use, some aspects of their toxicokinetics remain to be documented, in particular following inhalation, the predominant route of exposure in the workplace. A same experimental protocol and exposure conditions were reproduced two times (experiments E1 and E2) to document the kinetic time courses of inhaled Ag NPs. Rats...
