Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid parameters. Following euthanasia of each mouse, BAL was collected via tracheal puncture and assessed for number of inflammatory cells for a macrophages (cells × 105/mL) and b neutrophils (cells × 105/mL) c protein (mg/mL). Macrophage and neutrophilic cell counts were significantly upregulated in the CAPs exposure group relative to FA exposure, based on a Student’s t-test (p < 0.05), indicating an inflammatory pulmonary response following CAPs exposure
