ASBESTOS MEDITEXT ® - Medical Management 8.0 KINETICS 8.1 ABSORPTION
A. INHALATION 1. The primary route of asbestos entry into the body is through inhalation (ATSDR, 1990). B. ORAL 1. Ingestion of asbestos fibers can occur from drinking contaminated water or after mucociliary clearance from the lungs (ATSDR, 1990), but the cancer risk (if any) associated with this mode of entry has yet to be determined. a. A case-control interview-based study conducted with 382 cancer patients and 462 controls from the Everett, Washington area found no convincing evidence for cancer risk from asbestos presumed to have been imbibed from a high concentration of chrysotile in the drinking water (Polissar et al, 1985). C. DERMAL 1. Asbestos fibers may also lodge in the skin (ATSDR, 1990).
8.4 EXCRETION
8.4.4 OTHER
A. Asbestos fibers thicker than 3 micrometers in diameter or longer than 100 mcm are either not inhaled or are rapidly cleared from the respiratory tract (lARC, 1985). On a weight basis, only a very small proportion of inhaled fibers is retained. B. When inoculated intrapleurally, the majority of asbestos fibers were cleared during the first 10 days (lARC, 1985). Subsequently, there was a very small elimination through the gut. C. In feeding experiments, almost all the asbestos fibers were eliminated in the feces (lARC, 1985).
