Detection of mineral fibre carcinogenicity with the intraperitoneal test--recent results and their validity
The general experimental design of intraperitoneal (i.p.) carcinogenicity studies with inorganic fibres in rats is described. In a current study, in addition to glass microfibres, size-separated fine respirable fractions of commercial insulation wools (MMVF…

Nature of exposure to chrysotile
Fibres in general, and chrysotile fibres in particular, have properties that set them apart from other airborne particles in terms of their aerodynamic behaviour and the nature of their interactions with cells and fluids in vivo…

Biological effects: asbestos-cement manufacturing
… if so, then the no-threshold model for lung cancer risk is inappropriate since there is general agreement that very low exposures will not result in radiologically detectable lung fibrosis. Further data on this potential link…

Carcinogenesis and related cell and tissue responses to asbestos: a review
…of lung cancer. Several caveats important in the interpretation of these data include the general lack of dose-response protocols both for in vivo and for in vitro studies as well as the absence, in many…

A study of personal and area airborne asbestos concentrations during asbestos abatement: a statistical evaluation of fibre concentration data
…mastic with traditional methods, and mastic removal with a high-efficiency particulate air filter blast track (shot-blast) machine. In general, abatement of boiler and pipe insulation produces the highest airborne fibre levels, while abatement of…
