Their toxicological characterization is, however, less complete than that of roundish nanoparticles.Materials and Methods: Anatase form TiO2 nanorods, ca. 15x65 nm in size, were applied to cultured astrocytes in vitro and to the airways of young adult Wistar rats in vivo in 5, 10, and 8 mg/kg BW dose for altogether 28 days.

In rats, TiO2 nanorods applied to the airways reached the blood and various organs including the lungs, kidneys, and the central nervous system.
