Study Data from Qingdao University Provide New Insights into Nanosheets (Carbon Nitride Nanosheets Induce Pulmonary Surfactant Deposition Via Dysfunction of Alveolar Secretion and Clearance).

A study conducted by researchers at Qingdao University in Jinan, China, has found that inhalation of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) nanosheets can lead to the deposition of pulmonary surfactants in the lungs. The study also revealed that the doping of sulfur in graphitic carbon nitride reduced the hazardous effects on the respiratory system. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential respiratory hazards of graphitic carbon nitride and contribute to the assessment of its pulmonary toxicity. The research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and other funding sources. [Extracted from the article]
