Figure 4

Production of reactive oxygen species in exposed and non exposed cells. Picture A) shows cells that were not exposed (negative). Picture B) stands for the positive control (treated with TBHP). Cells on pictures C) and D) were exposed to brake wear particles ("normal deceleration 8x" and "full stop 8x"). The Intensity of ROS from A549 cells exposed to brake particles was quantified with the software ITEM (E). Displayed are the means and the standard deviations from 2 ("full stop 4x") or 4 (all the other conditions) experiments.
