Summary/Abstract: Carbon nanotubes are an important group of nanomaterials. The article presents their short characteristics and their presence in the air of work environment. The structure of the human respiratory system that is the main way of occupational exposure to carbon nanotubes, and mechanisms of its purification from deposited particles were discussed. The results of research on the influence of selected carbon nanotubes on the surface properties of a monolayer formed from phosphatidylcholine, which is the main component of the pulmonary surfactant, are presented.
