In vitro assessment of biodurability: acellular systems

A de Meringo et al. Environ Health Perspect. 1994 Oct.

Abstract

The assessment of biodurability of man-made vitreous fibers is essential to the limitation of health hazards associated with human exposure to environments in which respirable fibers are present. In vitro acellular systems provide effective test methods of measuring fiber solubility provided care is taken to select the most suitable solvent and test conditions for the specific fiber type and dimension.
