TLDR
Results show that, for the test conditions described here and on an equal-weight basis, if carbon nanotubes reach the lungs, they are much more toxic than carbon black and can be more Toxic than quartz, which is considered a serious occupational health hazard in chronic inhalation exposures.About:

Nanodiamond Particles: Properties and Perspectives for Bioapplications
TL;DR: This review critically examines the use of NDs for biomedical applications based on type (i.e., high-pressure high-temperature [HPHT], CVD diamond, detonation ND [DND]), post-synthesis processing and modifications, and resultant properties including bio-interfacing.

Cerium and yttrium oxide nanoparticles are neuroprotective.
TL;DR: It is shown here that nanoparticles composed of cerium oxide or yttrium oxide protect nerve cells from oxidative stress and that the neuroprotection is independent of particle size.

TL;DR: It is argued that in a biological fluid, proteins associate with nanoparticles, and it is the amount and presentation of the proteins on the surface rather than the particles themselves that are the cause of numerous biological responses.

Comparative pulmonary toxicity assessment of single-wall carbon nanotubes in rats.
TL;DR: Results from the lung histopathology component of the study indicated that pulmonary exposures to quartz particles produced dose-dependent inflammatory responses, concomitant with foamy alveolar macrophage accumulation and lung tissue thickening at the sites of normal particle deposition.

TL;DR: A readily scalable purification process capable of handling single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) material in large batches, which should greatly facilitate investigation of material properties intrinsic to the nanotubes.

TL;DR: Although laboratory studies indicated that with sufficient agitation, unrefined SWCNT material can release fine particles into the air, concentrations generated while handling material in the field were very low, and estimates of the airborne concen-tration of nanotube material generated during handling suggest that concentrations were lower than 53μg/m3 in all cases.
