The authors have conducted a comparative assessment of the effect of fibrous materials on cell cultures RAW264.7 and BEAS-2B. Both types of SWCNTs, despite the differences in morphological characteristics, demonstrated similar effects in in vitro experiments; this result, with its further verification, can have an important practical application in justifying approaches to determining the safety criteria for single-walled carbon nanotubes as a class of nanomaterials of the same type.
