Cytotoxicity for epithelial (C10, E10) and macrophage (MHS) cell lines in response to LMW PAH exposure. In (a) C10 cells, (b) E10 cells, and (c) MHS cells for a dose response with the binary LMW PAH mixture (1:1 ratio of 1-methylanthracene and fluoranthene). Cytotoxicity was performed using an MTS assay at 24 and 48 h of treatment in cells that are serum deprived prior to treatment. For C10 and E10 cells, * p < 0.05 for treatment compared to control (DMSO); ** p < 0.05 100 μM dose compared to 40–80 μM dose for C10 cells. MHS cells: *, p < 0.05 treatments compared to control. + p < 0.05 20 μM compared to 40 μM; ** p < 0.05 40 μM compared to all other doses.
