Research Abstract

Titanium dioxide nanoparticle, rutile crystalline structure, was dispersed in distilled water and average 55 nm size particles were fractionated by ultracentrifugation. 0.2 mg and 0.5mg TiO2 were intratracheally instilled into rat's lung. The amounts of TiO2 in lungs, bloods, livers, kidneys, spleens were determined by ICP-AES subsequently. TiO2 were cleared from lungs and the biological half time of were 3.4 months(0.2mg) and 3.9 months(0.5mg). TiO2 amounts in the other organ and blood were not determined or extremely low. There were no dose-dependent increases of total cells and neutrophils in BALF. The histopathological examination reveals the slight infiltration of inflammatory cells and no fibrosis and hyperplasic changes.
