Description

The effects of exercise and method of administration on the clearance of 57Co-labelled fused aluminosilicate particles from the lungs of male and female animals were studied up to 180 days after exposure. Voluntary exercise and the sex of the animals had no effect on clearance. Up to 30 days after exposure the lung clearance rates of particles administered by intratracheal instillation were significantly higher than after their inhalation. (author)
