Cytotoxicity of NPs: NP scale affects cell viability. Comparison of NPs (<100 nm) effect on the mortality with large particles (>1 μm) of same composition, on IP15 cell type using the WST-1 assay. TiO2 (a), ZnO (b) and CdS (c) nanoparticles (NPs) and large microparticles (μP). Cells were exposed in RPMI serum-free medium with different concentrations for 24 h. Results are expressed as the percent of cells mortality compared to the control. The data are presented as the mean ± SE of at least three independent experiments.
