With the development and application of nanotechnology, large amounts of nanoparticles
will be potentially released to the environment and possibly cause many severe health …

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) represent a novel material with unique electronic
and mechanical properties. The extremely small size (∼ 1nm diameter) renders their …

The genotoxic effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were examined by using
in vitro and in vivo assays. MWCNTs significantly induced micronuclei in A549 cells and …

In this work, we present a complete physicochemical characterization of multi-wall carbon
nanotubes (mwCNTs) in order to assess their potential toxicological effects in in vitro cell …

Novel materials are often commercialized without a complete assessment of the risks they
pose to human health because such assessments are costly and time-consuming; …

Carbon nanotubes are novel materials with unique physical and chemical properties, and
have been considered for use in numerous technological applications. More recently …

Abstract Objectives Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention by researchers
worldwide in recent years for their small dimensions and unique architecture, and for having …

Objectives IARC has classified one type of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs),
MWNT‐7, as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B); however, other types of MWCNT …

Occupational and environmental exposures to carbon-based materials in nano-and micro-
size have been reported. There is incomplete information on the impact of size on the toxicity …

Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), scientists have performed extensive
