Inhalation toxicity and lung toxicokinetics of C60 fullerene nanoparticles and microparticles.
While several recent reports have described the toxicity of water-soluble C60 fullerene nanoparticles, none have reported the toxicity resulting from the inhalation exposures to C60 fullerene nanoparticles or microparticles. To address this knowledge gap, we exposed male rats to C60 fullerene nanoparticles (2.22 mg/m3, 55 nm diameter) and microparticles (2.35 mg/m3, 0.93 microm diameter) for 3 ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effects of fullerene C60 nanoparticles on oxidative stress parameters at liver and brain of normal rats
Background & Objective: The potent antioxidant property of fullerene C60 nanoparticles and their derivatives has been demonstrated in a wide range of in vitro and in vivo studies. Hence, we examined the effects of fullerene C60 on the oxidative stress parameters at brain and liver of rats in normal situation. Materials & Methods: The study was performed in two groups of Wistar rats (each group...
متن کاملFullerene c60: inhalation hazard assessment and derivation of a period-limited acceptable exposure level.
Fullerene C(60) has great potential for use in many industry and medical nanotechnology applications. Although the use of nanomaterials has been increasing in the recent years, limited information about its potential hazardous effects is available. Therefore, safety of nanomaterials is a world concern. Before health effects arise in workers and the general population, development and use under ...
متن کاملSubchronic inhalation toxicity of silver nanoparticles.
The subchronic inhalation toxicity of silver nanoparticles was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats. Eight-week-old rats, weighing approximately 253.2 g (males) and 162.6 g (females), were divided into four groups (10 rats in each group): fresh-air control, low dose (0.6 x 10(6) particle/cm(3), 49 microg/m(3)), middle dose (1.4 x 10(6) particle/cm(3), 133 microg/m(3)), and high dose (3.0 x 10(6) part...
متن کاملOn Representation and Characterization of Fullerene C60
An operation on trivalent graphs leads from the truncated cube to buckminsterfullerene, and C60 is the only fullerene with disjoint pentagons which can be obtained by this method. The construction and the proof emphasize maximal independent sets that contains two fifths of vertices of trivalent graphs. In the case of C60 these sets define the structure of experimentally obtained bromofullerene ...
