title: Adsorption of nucleic acids on asbestos fibers in vitro.
abstract: Adsorption of DNA and RNA, accompanied by liberation of orthophosphate, occurred on contact with chrysotile asbestos fibers. This indicated that interaction of macromolecules and their components may be a factor, possibly involved in the manifestation of the toxic effect of asbestos fibers.
