Although NP has been extensively studied as a pollutant in marine and water environments, its potential detrimental effects, when present in the atmosphere, are still poorly investigated. In this study, we used polystyrene NP (PS-NP) in evaluating their potential toxic effects on the A549 cell line as a representative in vitro model of human lung epithelial cells.

Abstract

Although NP has been extensively studied as a pollutant in marine and water environments, its potential detrimental effects, when present in the atmosphere, are still poorly investigated. In this study, we used polystyrene NP (PS-NP) in evaluating their potential toxic effects on the A549 cell line as a representative in vitro model of human lung epithelial cells.
