| Method |
P.403 right column 2nd paragraph: "Strom (primary source) using an electronic particle counter coupled to a multichannel analyzer, reported that alveolar macrophages of normal rats ranged in size from 400-5,000 µm^3, with a mean of 1,170 µm^3." Primary source abstract: "The cell numbers and volumes were measured using an electronic particle counter." |
| Comments |
Primary source abstract: "The geometric mean volumes of AM from the exposed and control animals were approximately 1100 µm^3 at both 6 and 12 mo of exposure, although exposed cell-volume distributions skewed towards larger sizes." |
