 | | Some studies of metal workers exposed to ferric oxide dusts have shown an increased incidence of lung cancer [ref: 1,15], but the influence of factors in the workplace other than ferric oxide, i.e., soot, silica and asbestos in foundry work, cannot be discounted. |
 | | In one study, intrapleural inoculation of the respirable fraction of iron ore mine dust to female BALB/c mice resulted in an increased incidence of lung adenomas; in a second study, an increased incidence of lymphoma/leukaemia was observed in female C57BL/6J mice exposed chronically to the same dust. |
