Title Influence of cementworks fly-ash on sodium salicylate metabolism in mice
Original title Vplyv úletového prachu z cementárenských závodov na metabolizmus salicylanu sodného u myší [in Slovak]
Bibliographic information Nov. 1980, Vol.32, No.9, p.297-301. Illus. 32 ref.
Abstract Mice, to which sodium salycylate had been administered, were exposed to cement fly-ash. In comparison with controls, they were found to have increased urinary pH,a reduction in urinary excretion and a gradual blockage of the elimination of non-metabolised salicyclic acid. Subsequently, an abrupt change in pH (from markedly alkaline to markedly acidic) completely blocked non-metabolised salicyclic acid elimination and led to the death of the animals. Increasing the cement fly-ash concentration accelerated this process.
