Concentration-dependent systemic response after inhalation of nano-sized zinc oxide particles in human volunteers

Concentration-dependent systemic response after inhalation of nano-sized zinc oxide particles in human volunteers

Abstract Background Inhalation of high concentrations of zinc oxide particles (ZnO) may cause metal fume fever. In an earlier human inhalation study, no effects were observed after exposure to ZnO concentrations of 0.5 mg/m3. Further data from experimental studies with pure ZnO in the concentration...
