Abstract:	Assessment of toxicity of 10 nm, 50 nm and 1 um Fe3O4 particles based on shift in the cell population of the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid after their intratracheal instillation into lungs of rats and on a set of indices of the organism’s status following repeated intaperitoneal injections showed that, in equal mass doses, nanoparticles were far more toxic than microparticles but induced a more active protective response of alveolar phagocytosis. The latter fact was established with optical, electronic, and SE atomic force microscopy.
