Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity of Multi‐wall Carbon Nanotubes in Cultured Chinese Hamster Lung Cells in Comparison with Chrysotile A Fibers

Abstract

MWCNT and chrysotile were cytotoxic and genotoxic in Chinese hamster lung cells, but might interact indirectly with DNA. The results suggest that both test substances interfere physically with biological processes during cytokinesis.
