Abstract | Data are presented which detail the effects of model particulate compounds and fly ash particles on rabbit alveolar macrophage (RAM) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Silica, silicic acid, titanium dioxide, and size-fractionated (0,-2, 2-5, and 5-8 um) fly ash particles with and without coatings of nickel, lead, or cadmium oxides were the experimental particles. Silica was the most toxic particle studied. Cell viability and ATP in the RAM assay and colony survival in the CHO assay showed an almost identical response to silica and silicic acid. |
