Inhalation experiments with 14C-labelled cigarette smoke. III. Body size dependent distribution of particulate matter in small rodents during cigarette smoke inhalation.

Syrian golden and European hamsters were exposed to 14C-labelled cigarette smoke. The deposition of the 14C activity in the respiratory and digestive tracts was determined immediately after the exposure. From the results obtained it can be seen that the distribution of particulate matter between the upper and lower respiratory tract, as well as, between the respiratory and digestive tracts is related to the body weight of the experimental animals.

Inhalation carcinogenicity of alpha halo ethers. II. Chronic inhalation studies with chloromethyl methyl ether.

Rats and hamsters were exposed to 1 ppm of chloromethyl methyl ether six hours per day, five days per week, throughout their lifetime. Mortality and weight gain of the exposed animals paralleled that of the control animals. Malignant tumors of the respiratory tract were found in two rats. These were a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with blood vessel invasion and an esthesloneuroepithelioma originating in the olfactory epithelium and invading the forebrain. One hamster was found to have an adenocarcinoma of the lung and another, a squamous papilloma of the trachea. A single exposed rat had a pituitary tumor of primitive cell type that may well have been coincidental.

Inhalation carcinogenicity of alpha halo ethers. III. Lifetime and limited period inhalation studies with bis(chloromethyl)ether at 0.1 ppm.

Rats and hamsters were exposed to 0.1 ppm bis(chloromethyl)ether (BCME) six hours per day, five days per week throughout their lifetime. Additional groups of rats were given 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 exposures to 0.1 ppm BCME and then held until death. Forty cancers originating in the respiratory tract were found in the 200 rats involved in these studies. These included 14 cancers of the lung and 26 cancers of the nasal cavity. They occurred in dose-related fashion. A single undifferentiated carcinoma of the lung was seen in a hamster.
