Once inhaled, nanomaterials (particles and fibres) have a high probability of deposition in the lungs mainly by diffusion and to be transported throughout the body. The chemical composition and surface reactivity and dissolution rates are the driving forces for toxicity often starting with oxidative stress which can lead to inflammation, systemic effects or even lung cancer.
