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…

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…
