Low-dose-rate gamma radiation aggravates titanium dioxide nanoparticle-induced lung injury in mice

ConclusionWe conclude that while exposure to each of these two distinct stimuli alone does not cause notable lung damage, they may potentially cause lung damage when combined owing to their synergistic effects. Therefore, we should pay attention to the possible combined effects of low-dose radiation and exposure to TiO2NPs, considering their potential danger in patients with respiratory problems.
