In recent years, nanoparticle exposure risk has drawn increasing attention from the research community and the general public. However, analysis of nanoparticles is hindered by their small size, which prevents the development of methods for their detection in cells and tissues. For risk assessment of nanoparticle exposure, it is important to measure the exact amount of deposited material in pulmonary tissue. Using a nanoparticle exposure device, A/JJmsSlc mice were chronically exposed transtracheally to anatase-type titanium dioxide particles. A microscope-integrated laser Raman spectrometer was used to detect differentially stained macrophages in a pulmonary wash obtained from the mice exposed to the particles. This detection method allowed rapid and easy sample collection and qualitative analysis, and the method may be useful for conducting large-scale evaluations in workers exposed to environments heavily contaminated with nanoparticles. FROM THE CLINICAL EDITOR: This paper discusses a microscope-integrated laser Raman spectrometer method to measure the exact amount of nanoparticles deposited in pulmonary tissue. This method allows rapid sample collection, qualitative analysis, and may be useful for large-scale evaluations.
