Exposure of laboratory mice to carbon nanotubes mimics exposure to asbestos, from initial and chronic inflammation, through loss of the same tumour-suppressor pathways and eventual sporadic development of malignant mesothelioma. Fibres of a similar nature may pose significant health risks to humans.
实验室老鼠暴露于碳纳米管类似于暴露于石棉,从最初和慢性炎症,通过相同的肿瘤抑制途径丧失,最终偶发恶性间皮瘤。类似性质的纤维可能对人类健康构成重大风险。
