DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6448380· OSTI ID:6448380

The overall objective of the proposed research is to correlate both structural and functional alterations in cells and tissues of the lung brought about by exposure to fluidized bed combustion and fixed bed gasification effluents and reagent grade oxides of metals known to be associated with coal combustion and gasification.
