dc.description.abstract | The antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles has resulted in their extensive application in health, electronic, and home products. Thus, the exposed population continues to increase as the applications expand. Although previous studies on silver dust, fumes, and silver compounds have revealed some insights, little is yet known about the toxicity of nano-sized silver particles, where the size and surface area are recognized as important determinants for toxicity. Thus, the inhalation toxicity of silver nanoparticles is of particular concern to ensure the health ofworkers and consumers. However, the dispersion of inhalable ambient nano-sized particles has been an obstacle in evaluating the effect of the inhalation of nano-sized particles on the respiratory system. Accordingly, the present study used a device that generates silver nanoparticles by evaporation/ condensation using a small ceramic heater. As such, the generator was able to distribute the desired concentrations of silver nanoparticles to chambers containing experimental animals. The concentrations and distribution of the nanoparticles with respect to size were also measured directly using a differential mobility analyzer and ultrafine condensation particle counter. Therefore, the inhalation toxicity of silver nanoparticles was tested over a period of 28 days. Eight-week-old rats, weighing about 283 g for the males and 192 g for the females, were divided into 4 groups (10 rats in each group): a fresh-air control, a low-dose group (1.73 x 10(4)/ cm(3)), a middle- dose group (1.27 x 10(5)/ cm(3)), and a high-dose group (1.32 x 10(6) particles/ cm(3), 61 mu g/ m(3)). The animals were exposed to the silver nanoparticles for 6 h/ day, 5 days/ wk, for a total of 4 wk. The male and female rats did not showany significant changes in body weight relative to the concentration of silver nanoparticles during the 28-day experiment. Plus, there were no significant changes in the hematology and blood biochemical values in either the male or female rats. Therefore, the initial results indicated that exposure to silver nanoparticles at a concentration near the current American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) silver dust limit (100 mu g/ m3) did not appear to have any significant health effects. | - |
