Assessment of Pulmonary Fibrogenic Potential of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes in Human Lung Cells

<table>Particle characterization of nondispersed (ND) and Survanta-dispersed (SD) MWCNT. Field emission scanning electron micrograph of nondispersed ((a)–(c)) and Survanta-dispersed MWCNT ((d)–(f)) at increasing magnifications (scales show 50 <i>μ</i>m, 10 <i>μ</i>m, and 2 <i>μ</i>m resp.). Large agglomerates of MWCNT are present in ND-MWCNT preparations (left panel) while small well-dispersed structures are present in the SD-MWCNT sample (right panel).</table>
