Fibrosis, lungs after asbestos

Animal experiments were undertaken to test the relationship 235 guinea pigs exposed to asbestos dusts were found to have asbestosis but no cancer (Vorwald and Karr, 1938), whereas only two pulmonary carcinomas were reported among ten surviving mice after 240 days of exposure to asbestos dust (Nordman and Sorge, 1941). One fortuitous but often cited animal experiment was that of pulmonary asbestosis reported in a dog who served for ten years as a ratter in an asbestos factory. The animal died of alveolar fibrosis and collapse as a result of diffuse distribution of asbestos in the lungs (Schuster, 1931). [Pg.104]
