Building of head nose exposure inhalation system and particle size distribution characteristics
ԡۼ*
Abstracts
The purpose of this study is to validate and verify a head nose exposure inhalation system for nano particle
inhalation toxicity studies. Carbon nano tube(CNT) particles were generated by a chemical vapor deposition(CVD)
generator. And purchased single wall carbon nanotubes(SWCNT) and multi wall carbon nanotubes(MWCNT) were
generated by an atomizer. CNT particle distribution was measured by Scanning Nano-Particle Spectrometer(SNPS)
and Condensation Particle Counter(CPC). Diameter and length of MWCNT generated by CVD were 10~40 nm
and 220~20 m respectively. Particle number concentration of MWCNT generated by CVD were 1.3105, 4.1104,
5.6103#/cc in high, middle, low chamber respectively. Distribution of particles which were less than 100 nm was
45%. Particle number concentration of SWCNT generated by atomizer after magnetic stirring were 8.5106,
5.3105, 1.1104#/cc and after sonication 6.7106, 4.1105, 9.5103#/cc in high, middle, low chambers respectively.
Particle number concentration of SWCNT generated by atomizer after magnetic stirring were 6.7106, 4.6105,
8.6103#/cc and after sonication 7.7106, 5.1105, 1.3104#/cc in high, middle, low chambers respectively. We
set up head nose exposure inhalation system to conduct a study on nano particle inhalation toxicity. There were
sufficient particle number concentrations of nano particles generated in each chamber.
