The internalization of AgNPs into A549 cell over 12 h after exposure with 10 μg ml−1 nAgcontrol, CA-nAg, FA-nAg and TA-nAg in CM. (a) Cellular mass of AgNPs in A549 cell (Md, pg) and (b) Mass of AgNPs internalized to A549 cell (Mi, pg) related to the incubation time for 0–12 h with. The colored solid lines were fitted with Langmuir adsorption model in (a) and internalizing model in (b) by Matlab 2016a.
