Inhaled carbon nanotubes reach the subpleural tissue in mice
NATURE NANOTECHNOLOGY, 4(11), 747–751.
MeSH headings : Aerosols / adverse effects; Animals; Immunity / drug effects; Inhalation Exposure / analysis; Male; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Nanotubes, Carbon / adverse effects; Nanotubes, Carbon / ultrastructure; Pleura / drug effects; Pleura / immunology; Pleura / ultrastructure; Pulmonary Fibrosis / chemically induced
TL;DR:
It is shown that multi-walled carbon nanotubes reach the sub-pleura in mice after a single inhalation exposure of 30 mg/m3 for 6 hours and it is suggested that minimizing inhalation of nanot tubes during handling is prudent until further long term assessments are conducted.
