Fig 1

Cytotoxic effects of diesel exhaust particulates in nasal fibroblasts. Nasal fibroblasts were treated with various concentrations (0–800 μg/mL) of diesel exhaust particulates for 72 hours. Cytotoxicity tests were performed by MTT assay. DEP did not affect cell survival until the concentration reached 400 μg/mL. The graphic data represents the means ± SEM of three independent experiments. * p<0.05 compared to control.
