Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon nanotubes introduced into the abdominal cavity of mice show asbestos-like pathogenicity in a pilot study.
Craig A Poland,Rodger Duffin,Ian A. Kinloch,Andrew D. Maynard,William A Wallace,Anthony Seaton,Vicki Stone,Simon Brown,William MacNee,Ken Donaldson +9 more
TL;DR: Exposing the mesothelial lining of the body cavity of mice to long multiwalled carbon nanotubes results in asbestos-like, length-dependent, pathogenic behaviour, including inflammation and the formation of lesions known as granulomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safe handling of nanotechnology
Andrew D. Maynard,Robert Aitken,Tilman Butz,Vicki L. Colvin,Ken Donaldson,Günter Oberdörster,Martin A. Philbert,John Ryan,Anthony Seaton,Vicki Stone,Sally S. Tinkle,Lang Tran,Nigel J. Walker,David B. Warheit +13 more
TL;DR: The pursuit of responsible nanotechnologies can be tackled through a series of grand challenges, argue Andrew D. Maynard and his co-authors, and if they and their colleagues can rise to these challenges the true extent of any risks involved should become clear.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential risks of nanomaterials: a review carried out for ECETOC
Paul J. A. Borm,David Robbins,Stephan Haubold,Thomas A. J. Kuhlbusch,Heinz Fissan,Ken Donaldson,Roel P. F. Schins,Vicki Stone,Wolfgang G. Kreyling,Jürgen Lademann,Jean Krutmann,David B. Warheit,Eva Oberdörster +12 more
TL;DR: This review shows that only few specific nanoparticles have been investigated in a limited number of test systems and extrapolation of this data to other materials is not possible, and limited ecotoxicological data for nanomaterials precludes a systematic assessment of the impact of Nanoparticles on ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size-dependent proinflammatory effects of ultrafine polystyrene particles: a role for surface area and oxidative stress in the enhanced activity of ultrafines.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that only ultrafine polystyrene particles induced a significant increase in cytosolic calcium ion concentration and experiments using dichlorofluorescin diacetate demonstrated greater oxidant activity of the ultrafine particles, which may explain their activity in these assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon nanotubes: a review of their properties in relation to pulmonary toxicology and workplace safety.
Ken Donaldson,Robert Aitken,Lang Tran,Vicki Stone,Rodger Duffin,Gavin A. Forrest,Andrew J. Alexander +6 more
TL;DR: The toxicological paradigms applicable to the toxicity of inhaled CNT are set out, building on the toxicological database on nanoparticles (NP) and fibers, and the current paradigm for fiber toxicology is discussed.
