Undetactable levels of genotoxicity of SiO2 nanoparticles in in vitro and in vivo tests
1 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Silica dioxide (SiO2) has been used in various industrial products, including paints and coatings, plastics, synthetic rubbers, and adhesives. Several studies have investigated the genotoxic effects of SiO2; however, the results remain controversial due to variations in the evaluation methods applied in determining its physicochemical properties. Thus, well characterized chemicals and standardized...
