title: Uses of the UICC samples.
abstract: The UICC samples are now used in a wider variety of applications than was originally envisaged. They have been employed in inhalation, ingestion, inoculation and in vitro experiments. Other applications are in identification of asbestos type in aerosols and tissues; standardization of conventional fibre counting; development and calibration of techniques and instruments for fibre assessment; and studies on influence of fibre size and shape on inhalation and retention. The paper outlines applications and gives literature references.
