Differences in Cytotoxic, Genotoxic, and Inflammatory Response of Bronchial and Alveolar Human Lung Epithelial Cells to Pristine and COOH-Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

<table>TEM images of pristine MWCNT (a) and MWCNT-COOH (b) deposited on a 1000-mesh gold grid to measure outside diameter. The images also show nanoparticle inclusion of the metallic catalyst nickel (indicated by arrow) used to synthesize the nanotubes by CVD (bar: 200 nm and 100 nm, resp.). EDS spectra of pristine MWCNT (c) and MWCNT-COOH (d).</table>
