Abstract/Summary
The study will be focused on the only transport of fine particles of elements or oxides. The nonbiogenous elements (Ag, Cd and Pb) have been selected as products of nanotechnological processes. The research will give us more information for a proper understanding of risks of technologies producing Ag, Cd and Pb nano-sized particles as well as their oxides, which can have health impact for animals and humans or the impact on the environment.
