The incidence of quartz and sericite particles in siliceous residues in silicotic lungs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2009
Extract
1. Preparations for petrographical examination were obtained by micro-incineration of sections from silicotic nodules from thirty-one cases of unequivocal silicosis.
2. Particle counts above and below 2 μ showed, in the majority of cases, a preponderance of quartz.
3. Jones' claim that sericite particles predominate in the lower size range of particles in silicotic lungs is not confirmed.
