Specific surface area of titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles influences cyto- and photo-toxicity
The aim of this study is to examine how different specific surface areas of similar-sized titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles could influence both cytotoxicity and phototoxicity. TiO2 particles of different specific surface areas were compared for their toxic effects on RAW264.7 cells in the absence a...
