Reduction of pulmonary toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles by phosphonate-based surface passivation

Reduction of pulmonary toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles by phosphonate-based surface passivation

Abstract Background The wide application of engineered nanoparticles has induced increasing exposure to humans and environment, which led to substantial concerns on their biosafety. Some metal oxides (MOx) have shown severe toxicity in cells and animals, thus safe designs of MOx with reduced hazard...
