Gross alterations in the lungs with exposure to cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles include increased weight, black discoloration of the lungs, and the appearance of white nodules on the surface. The white nodules appeared to increase with longer exposure, and the white nodules appeared to coalesce to form bigger nodules at day 90. (A) Saline control lungs day 1, (B) CeO2 exposed lungs (7.0 mg/kg) day 28, (C) CeO2 exposed lungs (7.0 mg/kg) day 56, and (D) CeO2 exposed lungs (7.0 mg/kg) day 90.
