Abstract

In albino rats subjected to chronic inhalation of ultradispersed piezoceramic powder, scanning electron microscopy revealed changes in membrane surface of peripheral blood erythrocytes manifested as decreased number of diskocytes and increased number of transitional, prehemolytic, and degenerating forms. These parameters returned to normal 1 month after termination of inhalations.
