Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nanosilver is one of the most commonly used engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). In our study we focused on assessing the size-dependence of the toxicity of nanosilver (Ag ENMs), utilising materials of three sizes (50, 80 and 200 nm) synthesized by the same method, with the same chemical composition, charge and coating. METHODS: Uptake and localisation (by Transmission Electron Microscopy), cell...
