ICP-MS analysis for TiO2 distribution in mice injected with 3 nm TiO2 particles
TiO2 nanoparticles of 3 nm in size were synthesized by sol-gel technique and injected intravenously into mice.The organs were collected at 0.5
1
3
6
24 and 48 h after injection.Ti content in the organs was detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS).The results indicated that injected TiO2 nanoparticles were translocated into the organs via bloodstream immediately after injection
and deposited mostly in lung
liver and spleen.The TiO2 uptake(%ID/g) in the three organs reached the peak value of 141.73%
25.55%
and 18.07% at 6 h
1 h and 1 h after injection
respectively.The results also showed that there was significant amount of Ti in the brains of the control
and the brain Ti content increased markedly after injection.At 1
3
6
24 and 48 h after injection the brain Ti content was higher than that in blood.The experiment indicated that its toxicity on brain would be the emphasis of biological impact study of nano TiO2.
