Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Deposition of sized glass fibres in the respiratory tract of the rat

Notes: Sumario: A study has been made of the regional deposition of inhaled glass fibres of discrete size in the respiratory tract of the rat using a radioactive tracer technique. The samples used included four with nominal dia. 1.5 microm. and lengths ranging from 5 to 60 microm. and one with nominal dia. 3 microm. and length 10 microm. Deposition of the longer 1.5 microm. dia. fibres in the respiratory tract was quantitative as was that 3 microm. dia. fibre. Alveolar deposition was much lower than for asbestiform minerals owing to the larger aerodynamic diameters of the samples of glass fibreRelated records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 4, 1980 ; p. 353-366Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Fibra de vidrio Fibras minerales artificiales Vías respiratorias Experimentos Otros autores: Morgan, A.
