Dissolution of silicic acid from amosite and quartz dusts under physiological conditions.
The dissolution of silica from amosite dust in human serum and in Ringer buffer at 37 degrees C was found to be significantly higher than that from quartz. The significance of this finding in relation to their fibrogenic effects has been discussed.

Enzymatic changes in lung tissue of asbestotic guinea pigs.
The changes in the activities of some mitochondrial and soluble enzymes in the lungs of guinea pig, caused by three varieties of asbestos dust 120 days after intratracheal injection, were studied. Marked increase was observed in mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase, diaphorase and malic dehydrogenase. Among the soluble enzymes, lactic dehydrogenase showed the maximum variation.
