Notes: Sumario: Environmental exposures to man-made mineral fibres (MMMF) typically contain fibres which are polydisperse with respect to fibre dimensions. In order to provide insight into the influence of fibre dimensions on the potential carcinogenicity of MMMF, this paper reviews literature concerning the sites of lung tumours, regional fibre deposition, biological effects of fibres in in vivo and in vitro systems, dissolution rates of fibres and rates of physiological clearance of inhaled particlesRelated records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 4, August 1993 ; p. 395-417Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Fibras minerales artificiales Man-made mineral fibres Contaminación atmosférica Métodos de análisis Enfermedades profesionales Enfermedades pulmonares Cáncer Inhalación Secondary titles: Título: The Annals of occupational hygiene
