Zusammenfassung
Carbon black nanoparticle structures have been shown to influence the integrity of the respiratory tract, especially its surface functionalization is considered to structurally und functionally modulate the lung epithelia. To study the impact of functionalized carbon black nanoparticle surfaces a mouse model was established, applying the following particles by oropharyngeal aspiration: 9-nitroanthracen (NA) and benzo[a]pyren (BaP) functionalized and un-functionalized Printex®90 (7 µg), acetylene black with PAHs (7 and 15 µg) and DQ12 as positive control (7 µg). Saline as well as distilled water with and without…
