| Abstract | Stable isotope labeling coupled with high precision isotope ratio measurements by multiple collector-ICP-MS is effective for tracing zinc from zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in complex media and against a high zinc background. Using this technique, a previous study detected a slightly enhanced uptake of Zn in the blood of human females following dermal exposure to a sunscreen containing ZnO NPs, relative to a sunscreen of the same formulation but with larger ZnO particles (‘bulk’ material). Until now, the results of these exposures and the accuracy of the analyses, which require the resolution of subtle differences in Zn isotope ratios, have not been independently confirmed. Here we compare data from the previous study with results obtained in new, independent analyses of the same and additional samples, that were performed using similar techniques and instrumentation but in a different laboratory. The data sets are in good agreement, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of r ≈ 0.98, thus establishing the usefulness of the methods for tracing engineered ZnO NPs (and other anthropogenic sources of Zn) in Zn-rich biological materials. Previously unanalyzed blood samples from the earlier study provide further evidence for the increased uptake of Zn from ZnO NPs relative to bulk ZnO and they confirm that uptake rates decrease once sunscreen application has ceased. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
