The in vitro activities of pathogenic mineral dusts. 1980

R C Brown, and M Chamberlain, and R Davies, and G T Sutton

The pathogenic properties of mineral dusts are described and the range of relatively new materials requiring study is indicated. Since the animal facilities available for testing these potential hazards are limiting the authors describe an in vitro screen being used to select interesting dusts for in vivo experimentation, the type of results obtained are illustrated with some data for dusts derived from the industrially important Zeolites.
