Cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (A), DNA strand breaks (B) and micronucleus induction (C) in BEAS-2B cells after 3-h (A), 6-h (A), 24-h (A, B) and 48-h (C) exposure to pulp fibres. Data are presented as the mean ± se. Asterisks designate statistically significant differences compared with the untreated cultures at *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001. Daggers designate statistically significant linear regression at ††††p < 0.0001
