Expansion in production and commercial use of nanomaterials increases the potential
human exposure during the lifecycle of these materials (production, use, and disposal) …

Nanomaterials, including single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), are being developed
for a variety of commercial products. However, adverse health effects attributed to these new …

Background Nanotechnology is a rapidly advancing industry with many new products
already available to the public. Therefore, it is essential to gain an understanding of the …

A number of studies have demonstrated that MWCNTs induce granuloma formation and
fibrotic responses in vivo, and it has been recently reported that MWCNT‐induced …

Given their extremely small size and light weight, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be readily
inhaled by human lungs resulting in increased rates of pulmonary disorders, particularly …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) with numerous beneficial
applications. However, they could pose a risk to human health from occupational or …

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been widely used in many disciplines due to
their unique physical and chemical properties, but have also raised great concerns about …

Pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) induces fibrosing lesions in the lungs that
manifest rapid-onset inflammatory and fibrotic responses, leading to chronic fibrosis in …
