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…
