Abstract

The solubility of fibers is thought to be an important determinant of their potential for inducing toxic and tumorigenic effects in the lung. Three manmade vitreous fiber (MMVF) compositions (borosilicates) and three polymeric organic fiber (POF) compositions (polypropylene, polyethylene, and polycarbonate) were compared for solubility in a physiological fluid, Gambles solution. The test materials were subjected to leaching for 180 days in a system that provided a continuous, constant flow of Gambles solution through sample holders containing the test fibers. During the 180 days, extraction fluids from the MMVFs only were collected for chemical characterization and all fibers, MMVF and POF were examined after 180 days for changes in surface area, total specimen weight, and surface characteristics (by electron microscopy). The MMVFs underwent significant but incongruent dissolution in Gambles solution. From plots of dissolved silica versus time, their silica solubility rates were determined to be much greater than that of chrysotile asbestos (used as a control for these studies) by from 650 to 17,000 times. The surface areas of the MMVFs increased by from 1800 to 22,000%, weight losses ranged from 37 to 75%, and significant visible fiber surface changes were observed on examination by SEM (scanning electron microscopy). On the other hand, the POFs studied showed virtually no dissolution in Gambles solution in this system with no significant changes in surface area, only slight…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
