| Abstract |
In laboratory experiments, exposure of animals to dust of carbon fibre materials made on the basis of acrylonitrile and cellulose hydrate produced slight pulmonary fibrosis and irritation of the lung tissue and respiratory tract. The dust of carbon fibres obtained from acrylonitrile had a stronger fibrogenic effect than the dust of carbon fibres obtained from cellulose hydrate. The data provide a basis for establishing a MAC for both dusts, i.e. 4mg/m3. Preventive measures have been elaborated. |
