Inhaled carbon nanotubes reach the subpleural tissue in mice
Ryman-Rasmussen, J. P., Cesta, M. F., Brody, A. R., Shipley-Phillips, J. K., Everitt, J. I., Tewksbury, E. W., … Bonner, J. C. (2009, October 25). Nature Nanotechnology, Vol. 4, pp. 747–751.

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.

What is Open Access?
Open access is the free, immediate, online availability of research
articles. Making your research open access allows researchers across
to globe read and interact with your work which may increase citations
to your work.
Citation Index includes data from a number of different sources. If you have questions about the sources of data in the Citation Index or need a set of data which is free to re-distribute, please contact us.
