Chronic inhalation of cobalt oxide and cigarette smoke by hamsters. 1977

A P Wehner, and R H Busch, and R J Olson, and D K Craig

Exposure of hamsters to CoO aerosol (10 g/L, 7 hrs./day, 5 days/week) caused pneumoconiosis but affected neither the life span nor the incidence of other than pneumoconiotic lesions. No carcinogenic effects of CoO were observed. While cigarette smoke exposures significantly increased the incidence of certain types of other than pneumoconiotic lesions including tumors, they also increased the life span of the smoke-exposed animals significantly. The latter phenomenon may account for the higher tumor incidence in the smoke-exposed animals. No effect of the smoke exposures on incidence and degree of pneumoconiosis was observed. The mean body weights of the smoke-exposed groups were significantly reduced.

D011009 Pneumoconiosis A diffuse parenchymal lung disease caused by inhalation of dust and by tissue reaction to their presence. These inorganic, organic, particulate, or vaporized matters usually are inhaled by workers in their occupational environment, leading to the various forms (ASBESTOSIS; BYSSINOSIS; and others). Similar air pollution can also have deleterious effects on the general population. Bagassosis,Pneumoconioses
D011656 Pulmonary Emphysema Enlargement of air spaces distal to the TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES where gas-exchange normally takes place. This is usually due to destruction of the alveolar wall. Pulmonary emphysema can be classified by the location and distribution of the lesions.
