Reduction of Acute Inflammatory Effects of Fumed Silica Nanoparticles

Reduction of Acute Inflammatory Effects of Fumed Silica Nanoparticles - Contrary to the notion that the use of fumed silica in consumer products can "generally (be) regarded as safe" (GRAS), the high surface reactivity of pyrogenic silica differs from other forms of synthetic amorphous silica (SAS), including the capacity to induce acute membrane damage and acute pro-inflammatory changes in the murine lung.
