Cellulose fibers, along with many other organic fibers, are durable. Therefore, if inhaled, they have the potential to persist within the lung, and may then cause disease. Here we report the effects of injecting high-purity cellulose fibers into the

This article describes the activity of an E-glass microfiber (104E) during chronic inhalation and intraperitoneal injection studies in rats. Results are compared with another microfiber of similar dissolution rate (k(dis)), code 100/475, and the more

In this article the volumetric overload hypothesis, which predicts the impairment of clearance of particles deposited in the lung in terms of particle volume, is reevaluated. The degree to which simple expressions of retained lung burden explain pulm

The inflammatory effects of respirable cellulose fibres were studied in two short-term animal models: intraperitoneal injection in mice, and inhalation in rats. The mouse peritoneal cavity is particularly sensitive to fibrous compared to non-fibrous

The study objectives were to assess the ability of intratracheal injection methods to discriminate between nine fibre types in respect of pulmonary biopersistence, and to provide approximate estimates of relative biopersistence and durability for a s

Recent animal studies have demonstrated three separate and distinct mechanisms by which low toxicity dusts can cause important chronic pulmonary effects; through overloading of clearance mechanisms, through increased toxicity associated with ultrafin

A wide range of fiber types was tested in two in vitro assays: toxicity to A549 epithelial cells, as detachment from substrate, and the production of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) by rat alveolar macrophages. Three of the f

BACKGROUND: Inhalation of fumes from heated colophony (pine resin) is a recognised cause of occupational asthma, although the mechanisms by which colophony produces symptoms are unclear and specific immune responses to colophony have not been reporte

Cellulose fibres are used to manufacture productssuch as textiles, paper and cardboard, to give struc-tural strength to cement and other construction prod-ucts and to insulate buildings. This manufacture anduse can produce respirable airborne cellulo

Previous results from the Colt Fibre Research Programme supported the idea that the number of long thin fibres and their ability to persist in the lung are predictors for the risk of cancer. The results were based on nine fibres, including one glass
