What is it about?

Multi Walled carbon nanotubes are widely used in many industrial setting. Workers in industries are constantly exposed to this nanoparticles with no particular precaution procedures. Here we created an in vivo murine model mimicking workplace exposition and traced MWCNTs fate into the organism, sites of accumulation and potential damages associated with their exposition.

Why is it important?

Workers in several industrial setting are exposed to MWCNTs and no precaution procedures are adopted given to the scarce studies concerning the possible damages associated to this particles.
