Effects of prenatal exposure to surface-coated nanosized titanium dioxide (UV-Titan). A study in mice

摘要

BackgroundEngineered nanoparticles are smaller than 100 nm and designed to improve or achieve new physico-chemical properties. Consequently, also toxicological properties may change compared to the parent compound. We examined developmental and neurobehavioral effects following maternal exposure to a nanoparticulate UV-filter (UV-titan L181).
