  • Title: Talc dust pneumoconiosis.
    Author: Berner A, Gylseth B, Levy F.
    Journal: Acta Pathol Microbiol Scand A; 1981 Jan; 89(1):17-21. PubMed ID: 7223423.
    Abstract:
    Various types of mineral dust can induce interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, but there is no definite correlation between lung X-ray findings, tissue lesions and the type of dust. In this paper, we report on the post mortem verification of talcosis by lung tissue analysis, using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis and x-ray diffractometry.
