Effect of particle size on quartz-induced hemolysis and on lung inflammation and fibrosis

TL;DR: Larger crystals of alpha-quartz produce a greater degree of inflammation and fibrosis when instilled into the lung than those of 1 micron diameter, even though the smaller crystals are more membranolytic in vitro and appear to be cleared from the lung at the same rate as the larger crystals.
