The generation of reactive oxygen species and induction of lipid peroxidation in human lymphocytes under the influence of carbon nanotubes

Intensive development of industry, the use of new materials and technologies often poses a potential hazard to human health and the environment. Recent decades are characterized by particular growth of nanotechnology, using artificial nanomaterials that are based on nanoparticles with specific properties and significant advantages compared with conventional materials. Nanoparticles have large specific surface and size that commensurate with intracellular structures, the channel protein and DNA molecules, which provides them with high penetrating power.
