Despite numerous possible applications, the potential impact of Carbon Engineered Nanomaterials (CEN) on human health, particularly after exposure by inhalation, is still questioned. However, accurate quantification of CEN in the respiratory…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanomaterials that can be inhaled by employees during production or handling. One CNT, the Mitsui-7 (MWNT-7), has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as possibly carcinogenic to humans…

Les nanotubes de carbone (NTC) sont des nanomat riaux qui pr sentent un risque professionnel d inhalation lors de leur production ou de leur manipulation. Le Centre International de Recherche sur le Cancer a class un NTC, le Mitsui-7 (MWNT-7), comme…

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are promising nanomaterials because of their various physicochemical properties. However, their production and handling can lead to their aerosolization. Then, they can be inhaled, reach the deep lung…

Worldwide production of silica nanoparticles is estimated to be one million tons per year. Unlike crystalline silica, silica nanoparticles which have an amorphous structure are so far not considered as carcinogen to humans by IARC. However…

Epigenetic mechanisms that are essential in normal cell growth have been found disrupted in several human diseases such as cancer. Epigenetic mechanisms include histone post-translational modifications, DNA methylation and non-coding…

Introduction:
In many industrial activities, workers are exposed to particles that are either manufactured and used for their physicochemical properties or generated unintentionally during industrial processes. Since particles may get…

Introduction:
Co-culture models have been extensively used for assessing the toxicity of fibres and particles. However, once cell lines are mixed in the same tissue culture well, it is difficult to evaluate differential cell toxicity without…
