Figure 7

Apoptosis of A549 cells after exposure to 200 μg/ml measured particles for 15 mins. A-ultrafine particles (insoluble fraction); B-fine particles(insoluble fraction); C-coarse particles(insoluble fraction); D-ultrafine particles (soluble fraction); E-fine particles (soluble fraction); F-Coarse particles (soluble fraction); G-Nano CeO2; H-NiO; I-ZnO; J-control. The data was expressed as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 PM1.8(soluble) vs control; **p < 0.01 PM5.6(soluble) vs control; ***p < 0.001 PM0.1(soluble) vs control; $$$ p < 0.001 PM0.1 (insoluble) vs PM5.6(soluble); ### p < 0.001 PM1.8 (soluble) vs Nano CeO; @@ p < 0.01 PM5.6(soluble)vs NiO; △△p < 0.01 PM5.6(soluble)vs ZnO.
