| Research Abstract |
We evaluated the pulmonary effect of nano-titanium dioxide in relation with surface area. We used five nano-titanium dioxide particles from different products. Each material suspension at the dose of lmg Per rat was intratracheally instilled once to maleWistar rats. Pathological results showed that, with the similar surface area, the difference of pulmonary effect was observed by the product of nano-titanium dioxide. Surface area should be one of a significant factor for toxicity of nanoparticles. However, other factors such as manufacturing method or surface characters of particles may be also responsible for the toxicity.
