The peculiar characteristics of dust toxicity are discussed in relation to the processes taking place at the particle-biological medium interface. Because of surface reactivity, toxicity of solids is not merely predictable from chemical composition and molecular structure, as with water soluble compounds. With particles having the same bulk composition, micromorphology (the thermal and mechanic...

Pulmonary diseases associated with inhalation of environmental or occupational particulates can be endpoints of a chronic inflammatory process in which alveolar macrophages (AM) play a pivotal role [1]. Figure 1 shows a ‘smiling’ human AM found in a bronchoalveolar lavage specimen [2]. AM are located in the alveolus, persistently exposed to pollute air, and serve as a first line of defense agai...
