title: [Demonstration of artificial mineral fibers using bronchoalveolar lavage in animals].
abstract: Inhalation of man-made mineral fibers (MMMF) was performed with mini-pigs and beagles to examine the value of bronchoalveolar lavage for the detection of these fibers in the lung. The preparation of the BAL-fluid without filtration lead to the detection of a plentiful quantity of MMMF. With our investigations we could verify that in the final product mineral-wool a great spectrum of different seized fibers down to particles reaching the alveoli is present.
