Carbon Concerns: Nanotubes Cause Cardiovascular Damage
Critical Windows p,p ́-DDE May Alter Fetal Neurodevelopment DDT has been widely used to control mosquitoborne malaria since the late 1940s. The compound and metabolites such as p,p ́-DDE linger in the environment for decades; even in areas where DDT has been banned, these neurotoxic chemicals are still detected in human blood, fat, breast milk, and umbil ica l cord blood. Researchers examined the...
متن کاملAssessing DNA Damage from Enzyme-Oxidized Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes.
Peroxidase enzyme digests of oxidized single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were shown to damage DNA in potentially genotoxic reactions for the first time using an electro-optical array with and without metabolic activation.
متن کاملLow-Energy Irradiation Damage in Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are one of the most promising materials for future nano-electronics, because of their unique quasi-one-dimensional structures and excellent electric and mechanical properties. They also have very high chemical stability, owing to their robust sp2-bonding carbon network (graphene) with no dangling bonds. Because of the structural robustness, low-energy (typi...
متن کاملCardiovascular Effects of Pulmonary Exposure to Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
BACKGROUND Engineered nanosized materials, such as single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), are emerging as technologically important in different industries. OBJECTIVE The unique physical characteristics and the pulmonary toxicity of SWCNTs raised concerns that respiratory exposure to these materials may be associated with cardiovascular adverse effects. METHODS In these studies we evaluated ...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotubes
The Amazing and Versatile Carbon – Chemical basis for life With an atomic number of 6, Carbon is the 4th most abundant element in the Universe by mass after (Hydrogen Helium and Oxygen). It forms more compounds that any other element, with almost 10 million pure organic compounds. Abundance, together with the unique diversity of organic compounds and their unusual polymer forming ability at the...
