Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) present in the air pollution increases morbidity and mortality due to several reasons. The dataset presents a comparative analysis of nebulization process of Fe(2)O(3) and SiO(2) nanoparticles or crude PM (NIST1648a) and that with reduced content of organic matter (LAp120). Nebulization tests were carried out to determine concentrations of nanoparticle and PM suspensions, in order to create an atmosphere with a concentration of PM particles about 1000 µg/m(3) of air in the exposure chambers. It is important to properly recreate environmental conditions during further research on animals. The absorbance spectrum of the suspensions of the tested materials was measured in the range of 300-700 nm. The changes in the absorbance of these suspensions depending on the concentration after their passage through the nebulizers were examined. Based on the absorbance, it was determined to what extent the suspensions are passed out and dispersed by the nebulizers. The operating mode of the nebulizers and the concentration of suspensions were determined in order to establish the optimal exposure conditions and the microclimate of the chambers for further studies with mice. The dataset can help in optimization of nebulization process for all researchers exploring the further issue of the influence of the air pollution on the broadly understood animal functions, behavioral parameters and biochemical aspects.
