title: [Morphological studies of the rat liver after experimental administration of carbon ashes and coal dust].
abstract: The experiments were carried out in Wistar rats which were given intratracheally samples of carbon ashes or soil dust in the form of the respirable fraction. The morphologic changes and the glycogen content in the experimental animals' livers were evaluated. The content of the trace elements was determined in the applied carbon ashes and soil dust by means of the X-rays diffraction method. The results of the studies show that the morphologic changes in liver depend on the kind of dust and are related to the content of the trace elements and the free silicon dioxide in the carbon ashes and the soil dust.
