Toxic Carcinogenic Effects of Solid Particles Respiratory Tract

By V. Mohr

This volume, the fourth in a series of ILSI monographs that explore advances in inhalation toxicology, presents recent data on the toxic and carcinogenic risks posed by particulate matter in the respiratory tract. Such particles include those with very low solubility, such as quartz, carbon black, diesel soot and activated charcoal, along with fibres that are long, thin and durable. Current studies of the carcinogenic effects of these materials in laboratory animals are presented, along with discussions of the risks they pose to human beings.
