Prediction of the comparative intensity of pneumoconiotic changes caused by chronic inhalation exposure to dusts of different cytotoxicity by means of a mathematical model / B.A. Katsnelson... [et al.]

Sumario: The cytotoxicity of dust particles has a dual role as a characteristic that determines the mathematical prediction of the comparative risk of devoloping pneumconiosis due to the action of different dusts. On the one hand, this characteristic determines the kinetics of the accumulation and retention of particles in lungs and lymph nodes, and thereby the value of the action integral. On the other hand, comparative cytotoxicity permits the comparative "harmfulness" of particles retained in the tissue of these organs to be judged
