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:

In vitro toxicity of nanosized copper particles in PC12 cells induced by oxidative stress
TL;DR: Investigation of the cytotoxicity induced by nanosized copper particles (nano-Cu) showed that the increasing of oxidative stress was a key mechanism in PC12 apoptosis induced by nano-Cu, and both excessive intracellular ROS and decreased SOD contributed to nano- Cu-induced cytot toxicity.

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: 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.
