Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cell differentials following carbon nanoparticle (CNP) inhalation exposure in BALB/cJ mice compared to control. a. Total BAL cell counts do not exhibit any significant changes. BAL cell analysis following CNP inhalation exposed mice revealed increased macrophages (b) [Control: 5.5 ± 0.8 × 105 versus 6.7 ± 0.8 × 105] at 4 h post exposure followed by a strong granulocyte influx (c) [Control: 2.6 ± 0.8 × 103 versus 10.0 ± 2.8 × 103] at 24 h post exposure. Data are shown as Mean ± SEM; n = 8 and asterisks (*) denote p < 0.05. White bars: Clean air exposed; Black bars: CNP exposed
