Pulmonary toxicity of carbon nanotubeparticles Dr. Shvedova, PIa) Raw SWCNT (30% iron by weight) generate ROS with bronchial epithelial cells in vitro(Shvedova et al, 2004).b) Purified SWCNT (acid treated) generate low ROS and are less cytotoxic (Kagan et al, 2006).c) Aspiration of purified SWCNT in a mouse model (Shvedova et al, 2005):1) Rapid but transient inflammation and damage2) Agglomerates deposit at the terminal bronchioles and proximal alveoli; cause ) More dispersed structures cause rapid and progressive interstitial Toxicity Projects1.
