title: [The immunotoxicological basis for the revision of suspended particulates health standard].
abstract: The paper presented the effects of suspended particulates and coal combustion on body's immune function, including the effects of suspended particulates (SP) injected intratracheally, and of inhalation of coal combustion emissions on animal immune function, as well as the effects of indoor coal combustion products and atmospheric pollution on the immune function of children. On the basis of these studies, the maximum daily average allowable concentration of 0.15 mg/m3 of atmospheric SP is justifiable from the immunotoxicological point of view.
