Objective We reviewed studies on pulmonary, reproductive, and developmental toxicity
caused by carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In paricular, we analyzed how CNT exposure affects …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) represent one of the most studied allotropes of carbon. The
unique physicochemical properties of CNTs make them among prime candidates for …

Background Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) constitute one of the most promising
types of nanomaterials in industry today. With their increasing use, the potential toxicity and …

Asbestos (Greek, inextinguishable) is the term of a family of naturally occurring minerals that
have been used in small scale since ancient times. Industrialization demanded increased …

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been developed into new materials with a variety of
industrial and commercial applications. In contrast, the physicochemical properties of CNT at …

Carbon nanotubes are commercially-important products of nanotechnology; however, their
low density and small size makes carbon nanotube respiratory exposures likely during their …

Nanomaterials (NMs) present unique challenges in safety evaluation. An international
working group, the Genetic Toxicology Technical Committee of the International Life …

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; …

Background A key aspect of any new material safety assessment is the evaluation of their in
vivo genotoxicity. Graphene oxide (GO) has been studied for many promising applications …

In an evaluation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for the IARC Monograph 111, the Mechanisms
Subgroup was tasked with assessing the strength of evidence on the potential …
