    High-resolution X-ray techniques were applied to examine the effects of gold nanoparticles (size <5 nm) on natural pulmonary surfactant and pure DPPC monolayers preliminarily formed on water subphase in a Langmuir trough. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic nanoparticles were delivered from nanoaerosol using electrodeposition method. Grazing incidence diffraction, X-ray reflectivity, and X-ray standing wave measurements allow to monitor the changes in molecular organization of lipid monolayer and to locate the position of gold nanoparticles. X-ray experiments were performed over a period of 9-14 h. The obtained results evidenced that, on a long time scale, the deposition of nanoparticles, even at low doses, can induce pronounced alterations in lipid monolayer. The presented data can help to elucidate the mechanism of pulmonary translocation of inhaled nanoparticles that is of special interest for biomedical investigations of potential risk of nanoaerosols for human health.
