Abstract

SWCNTs are widely used in the fields of biomedicine, electronics and energy storage. With the increasing of SWCNTs production, SWCNTs are likely to present in the environment. In this work, a series of concentrations of SWCNTs were used to test the toxicity to human epithelial cells (A549). Results showed that SWCNTs can inhibit cells growth and medium lethal concentration (IC50) is 65 mg/L at 24 h. Norfloxacin (NOR) can increase the viability of cells exposed to SWCNTs and relieve the oxidative stress of SWCNTs induced.
