Pharmaceutical Science and Research
Objective: The continual increase in production and disposal of nanomaterials raises concerns regarding the safety of nanoparticles on the environmental and human health. Recent studies suggest that cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles may possess both harmful and beneficial effects on biological processes. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate how exposure to different concentrations (0.17–17.21 µg/mL) of aggregated CeO2 nanoparticles affects indices of whole animal stress and survivability in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Methods: Caenorhabditis elegans were exposed to different concentrations of CeO2 nanoparticles and evaluated.
Results: Our findings demonstrate that chronic exposure of CeO2 nanoparticle aggregates is …
