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.

A new strategy to probe the genotoxicity of silver nanoparticles combined with cetylpyridine bromide.

TL;DR: The environmental genotoxic behavior of silver nanoparticles (nanoAg) combined with the detergent cetylpyridine bromide (CPB) was examined in vitro and it was shown that nanoAg shows obvious genotoxicity after combined with CPB.

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.

Large-scale purification of single-wall carbon nanotubes: process, product, and characterization

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.

Exposure to carbon nanotube material: aerosol release during the handling of unrefined single-walled carbon nanotube material

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.
