Table 1 Haematological analysis of filtred air (control;n = 8) and ultrafine carbon particles (UfCPs;n = 8) exposed SHRs on first and third recovery day.

From: Exposure to ultrafine carbon particles at levels below detectable pulmonary inflammation affects cardiovascular performance in spontaneously hypertensive rats
