Abstract:Introduction: Comprehensive data on the carcinogenicity of airborne nanoparticles are lacking. CeO 2 and BaSO 4 are currently being tested in a chronic and carcinogenicity inhalation study (OECD TG 453), within the EU-project NanoREG. Materials and Methods: Rats were exposed to 0.1, 0.3, 1 and 3 mg/ m 3 CeO 2 and 50 mg/m 3 BaSO 4 for 6 h/day for 2 years. Interim results after 13 and 52 weeks and results of previous studies with 1 and 4 weeks of exposure to 0.5, 5 and 25 mg/m 3 CeO 2 are available. Examinations… Show more
