Abstract The health effects of ambient PM 2.5 and its potential mechanisms have generated considerable interest. In vitro cell studies and ex vivo animal experiments may not accurately determine the characteristics of PM 2.5 particles. To better understand their detailed mechanisms, we performed an in vivo study using single photon emission tomography (SPECT) imaging. To mimic the PM 2.5 particles, SiO2 nanoparticles modified by ethylene carbonate or polyvinyl pyrrolidone were labeled with 131I. After administration via inhalation, in vivo SPECT imaging of the radiolabeled particles in sprague dawley rats was performed. It was found that radioactivity accumulated in the lungs and trachea 6 and 24 h after administration. In addition, significant radioactivity was observed in the abdomen, including the liver and kidneys. The results were also confirmed by ex vivo autoradiography. This study

1 Introduction Air pollution has aroused widespread public health concerns in China with the rapid growth of the economy and industry. According to the global health observatory data from the WHO, almost 7 million people are killed by air pollution every year [1, 2]. Among them, particulates with aerodynamic diameters of less than 2.5 lm (PM 2.5), which comprise an air-suspended mixture of solid and liquid particles, have become the most criticized pollutant, attracting considerable attention. These particulates can penetrate human lungs and cause many adverse health effects, such as asthma, pneumonia, stroke, chronic bronchitis, and arrhythmia [3–5]. In addition, exposure
