Abstract
Various types of epithelial alterations have been observed in explant cultures of differentiated respiratory tissues which were treated in vitro with carcinogens (Lasnitzki 1956; Palekar et al. 1968; Crocker and Sanders 1970), infectious microorganisms (Gabridge 1979), mineral dusts (Mossman et al. 1980), and other airborne particulates (Mossman and Craighead 1979).
