Fiber localization and its relationship to lung reaction in rats after chronic inhalation of chrysotile asbestos
…with histologic changes indicating marked epithelial injury. Increased amounts of fibers are also localized in the lung interstitium with continued exposure to asbestos and are associated with a progressive interstitial fibrotic reaction. Following cessation of exposure…

Response of mouse lung to crocidolite asbestos. 1. Minimal fibrotic reaction to short fibres
This was an animal experiment from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, on how mouse lungs respond to short crocidolite asbestos fibres. The authors separated short fibres from a standard UICC crocidolite sample. These had a mean length of 0.6…
