Mesothelioma in Relation to Asbestos.

PB84241603

Publication Date	1970
Personal Author	Smith, W. E.
Page Count	22
Abstract	The carcinogenicity of asbestos (1332214) was examined in LVGLAK-hamsters. Hamsters were given a single injection of 0.5 milliliter of a suspension of 1 of 23 preparations of asbestos or other minerals into the right pleural cavity. Animals were followed for 650 to 700 days after injection or until death. Necropsies were performed. Thoracic contents were examined microscopically and histologically. Presence or absence of pleural adhesions and their character, plaques, thrombi, or other pathologies were noted. Mesotheliomas were found after injection of soft chrysotile (12001295), harsh chrysotile, amosite (12172735), diatomaceous earth, crocidolite (12001284), anthophyllite (16829439), nickel (7440020) powder, and microquartz fibers.
