Periodic table-based data for the cytotoxicity assessment of 17 metal oxide nanoparticles

Cytotoxicity data of seventeen metal oxide nanoparticles to bacteria Escherichia Coli expressed as the negative logarithm of concentration for 50% effect. Seven periodic table descriptors are included, obtained from the molecular formula of the nanoparticles' core. (Reference https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoenv.2014.05.026, License: CC-BY 4.0.) The dataset was originally published on the NanoPharos Database. More datasets are available via the NanoPharos Database.
