Grain dust and alveolar macrophages: an experimental study of the effects of grain dust on the mouse lung.
Exposure of mice to grain dust in a dusting chamber for 2-80 days led to a pulmonary macrophage response but no interstitial pulmonary damage. The macrophages contained prominent paracrystalline cytoplasmic inclusions.
