Carcinogenicity of Poorly Soluble Low Toxicity Particles: Commentary on Epidemiology as a Risk Assessment “Reality Check”

Carcinogenicity of Poorly Soluble Low Toxicity Particles: Commentary on Epidemiology as a Risk Assessment “Reality Check”

Inhaled particles that are poorly soluble or insoluble and of low toxicity (“poorly soluble low toxicity” or “PSLT” particles), can accumulate in the lung and at lung overload levels induce lung cancers in rats. The question of whether PSLT particles increase lung cancer risk in humans is complicate...
