Research Abstract |
We examined studies using characterized nano and fibrous materials in order to establish the estimating system of hazard effect of these materials. In intratracheal instillation studies, nickel oxide nanomaterials with agglomerates micron-size, high dose of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and potassium octatitanate Whiskers (PT-1) induced the pulmonary inflammation in rat lung. In vitro study using alveolar epithelial cell lines, nickel oxide induced IL-8 concentration and titanium dioxide did not. These studies are useful to estimate the harmful effect of nano and fibrous materials.
