Abstract
A variety of inorganic particles may be inhaled during environmental or occupational exposures. A number of studies with animals have shown that inhaled toxic particles such as silica (Brody et al., 1982) and asbestos (Brody et al., 1981; Brody and Hill, 1982) accumulate in the lung interstitium soon after exposure. The presence of interstitial asbestos is known to induce the progression of fibrotic scarring (Selikoff and Lee, 1978) by undefined mechanisms.
