A Study of the length and diameter of fibres in lung and in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid, following exposure of rats to chrysotile asbestos / E. Kauffer... [et al.]

Sumario: This paper describes changes in the dimensions of fibres in the lungs of rats and in fibres removed from the lungs by broncho-alveolar lavage, following a single inhalation exposure to about 5 mg m-3 of chrysotile asbestos for 5 h. The length and diameters of the fibres were measured with the transmission electron microscope
