| Abstract |
Silicon monoxide (SiO) is formed by thermal reduction of silica (production of ferrosilicon, electrometallurgy, etc.). To assess its fibrogenic and toxic properties experiments were carried out in white rats; the results showed that SiO is non-irritant and is practically non-toxic. It causes tissue changes of a moderately proliferating and sclerotic nature, and may be listed among the moderately fibrogenic dusts. In view of these results a TLV of 6mg/m3 is recommended. |
