Zusammenfassung
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of synthetic carbon black nanoparticles (CBNP) with and without polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons adsorbed to their surface. Printex®90 and acetylene soot particles as well as particles covered with either benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) or nitroanthracene (NA) were tested in human pulmonary cell lines (16HBE14o-, Calu-3, A549) and precision cut lung slices (PCLS) of mice, rats and humans using a wide concentration range. Particle size distribution in the cell culture medium was determined by dynamic light scattering. Viability assays were LIVE/DEAD® staining and WST-1 assay…
