Pathological Response of the Lung to Certain Inhaled Irritants
Abstract
Acute exudative or hemorrhagic lesions were seen in the lungs of monkeys, dogs, rats and mice exposed to high concentrations of ozone, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen, while subacute proliferative pulmonary lesions were best demonstrated in monkeys exposed to high concentrations of oxygen and surviving the early exudative phase of the toxic response. The chronic granulomatous response was best illustrated in the lungs of dogs exposed to beryllium- containing dusts and allowed to recover for 30-36 months.
