The distribution, clearance, translocation and pathobiology of intratracheally instilled (IT) Mount St. Helens volcanic ash samples are discussed and compared with NIOSH quartz and Ritzville sandy loam samples as positive controls and saline as a negative control. Comparisons are also made with similar studies in rats using chrysotile asbestos, beryllium oxide and cadmium oxide.
