Abstract

To look for a potential alternative to a two-year inhalation study of MWCNT, we now perform a chronic toxicity study designed to intermittently expose MWNT-7 to F344 male rats by the intratracheally instillation method with dose of 0, 0.125 or 0.5 mg/kg BW at every 4 weeks. Aggregation of MWCNT-laden macrophages associated with hyperplasias of type II alveolar cell was prominent in lungs of satellite animals at 0.5- and 1- yr after the beginning of the study. Cell numbers in BALF increased dose- and time- dependently. No lung tumors and pleural mesotheliomas were observed until now.
