The cytotoxic effect of CdS nanoparticles and cadmium chloride on encephalon embryonic development in newborn mice is presented in the article. The ultrastructural changes of cerebrum in new-born mice, developed under the exposure to CdS nanoparticles and cadmium chloride, were studied. It is found that CdS nanoparticles express a cytotoxic effect on the brain cortex of fetus in different doses and have a more expressed neurotoxic effect as compared with CdCl2. The degree of mani-festation of the cytotoxic effect of CdS nanoparticles depends on their doses and size.

Key words: CdS nanoparticles, cadmium chloride, sodium polyphosphate, neurotoxicity, prenatal period
