Property | Classification |
---|---|
Soluble | Higher solubility, potential release of toxic ions |
| |
Poorly-Soluble, Low Toxicity | Insoluble or poorly soluble, low inherent toxicity, lung inflammation determined by surface area |
| |
Poorly-Soluble, High Toxicity | Biopersistent, specific toxicity related to surface reactivity and surface area |
| |
High Aspect Ratio | Fibrous particles; lung toxicity related to biopersistence, translocation to pleura, genotoxicity |
