Is there a link between the physicochemical characteristics of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and their genotoxicity in human cells?

The wide applicability of manufactured nanomaterials (NM) has led to an increased risk of human exposure and environmental dissemination. In particular, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have been developed for industrial purposes, but the same properties that render these materials so attractiv...
