EFFECTS FROM CHRONIC INHALATION OF ASBESTOS PIPE-COVERING DUST IN RATS AND HAMSTERS !7J3t PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT ' ST0001449 B. K. J. Leong, R. J. Kociba, L. E. Frauson, R. W. Lisowe and L. W. Rampy Toxicology Research Laboratory Health and Environmental Research Dow Chemical U.S.A. Midland, Michigan 4S640 May 11, 1976 ABSTRACT Rats and hamsters were exposed to the dust of pulverized asbestos pipe covering at an average concentration of 85 mg/M"* for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week for 7 months followed by a lifetime observation period. In rats, the pulmonary responses were alveolar adenomatous proliferation, non-progressive fibrosis, squamous metaplasia and a substantial incidence of pulmonary carcinoma formation. A smaller group of hamsters exposed under these conditions experienced an earlier onset of mortality than control hamsters not subjected to the exposure regimen. Although this prevented conclusive evaluation of the pulmonary re sponse in this species, there were no pulmonary neoplasms noted in the surviving hamsters. ST000 145(5 *>v' 'jtr-v V 2 INTRODUCTION Asbestos materials, primarily chrysotile, crocidolitc, and amosite, are used extensively as thermal insulation mater ials.^- Many industrial products worldwide rely increasingly on asbestos and the variety of its uses. At the same time, asbestos is also being perceived as a major health hazard. Asbestos dust exposure is new widely recognized as an important etiological factor in pulmonary fibrosis, 2 ' 3 ' 4 res piratory cancers, and malignant mesothelial tumors.^ ^ However, the precise mechanisms of the causal relationships have not yet been clarified although many theories have been proposed. Several factors in the carcinogenic response to asbestos have been identified: (1) the action of the fiber it self due to its particular geometry,(2) trace metals associated with the fiber (some of which are known to be carcinogenic themselves), ' (3) polycyclic aromatic hydro carbons associated with the fiber,^ (4) other carcinogenic agents adsorbed onto the asbestos during milling, handling, mining, etc. and carried on the asbestos fiber into the body, 19 and (5) cigarette smoke m conjunction with asbestos exposure.^ Considering these factors, the theories basically view asbestos fiber as a carcinogen or as a carrier of a car cinogen . ; ST0001451 4 3 Most of the asbestos inhalation experiments to date were conducted using relatively pure mincrological types of dust. The findings in rats and hamsters exposed to asbestos dusts generated from prefabricated asbestos pipe covering are pre sented in this paper. The duration of exposure was 6 hours per day, 5 days per week for 7 months followed by observa tion for thu life of the animals. > : STC9QI452 4 MATERIAL AND METHODS Material Asbestos dust was prepared by pulverizing a section of a prefabricated asbestos air-cell pipe covering into coarse powder with an industrial hammer mill for 5 minutes. The coarse powders were further reduced to micron and submicron sizes in a ceramic ball mill running for 48 hours. The final dust sample consisted of 30-40% of noncrystalline and approximately 60% of crystalline materials a> determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystalline components con sisted of approximately 50% asbestos form materials (chrysotile) , 5% Fe^C^i 5% Mg(OH)2 and 5% MgO. Atomic emission spectrographic analysis of a representative sample revealed the presence of various minerals as shown in Table 1. Dust Atmosphere Generation The asbestos dust atmosphere was generated by using an air elutriator as shown in Fig. 1. The elutriator consisted of a 90 x 10 cm pyrex tube. The bottom of the tube was sealed with a rubber diaphragm attached to an air vibrator. The powder was poured through the opening on top of the tube onto the rubber diaphragm. The powder was then churned up by the vibrating diaphragm and was carried upward by a swirling air current emerging from two air nozzles located cn --i o CD CD cn CJ 5 just above the diaphragm. The quantity of fine dust to be introduced into the exposure chamber could be regulated by adjusting the vibration frequency of the diaphragm and the volume of air ejecting through the dust cloud. For a 6 hour exposure period 20 grams of powder were initially placed in the dust generator. Additional 10-gram portions of powder were added twice daily to maintain a fairly constant level of dust in the chamber atmosphere. The coarse residue was discarded at the end of each experimental day. Chamber Dust Concentration Analyses The concentration of asbestos dust in the chamber atmosphere was determined gravimetrically using a membrane filter-sampler technique. Two open-face dust samplers were placed in the center of the exposure chamber just above the animal holding cages. A third sampler was placed within an empty cage sur rounded by other cages containing animals. An air sample was drawn at the rate of 8.5 liters per minute for 5 to 10 minutes through a 47 mm diameter membrane filter (Metricel GA-4) of 0.8 um pore size. The asbestos dust retained by the filter wa3 weighed so that the dust concentration, in terms of milli grams per cubic meter of air, could be determined. *is *iio o o is : 6 Particle Size Distribution Analyses The particle size distribution of the airborne asbestos dust in the chamber was monitored usiny a light scattering particle counter. Dust in air samples drawn from the center of the chamber was analyzed for particle size distribution. The dust trapped in a membrane filter sampler was dispersed in a suitable mounting medium and counted automatically with a phase contrast microscope interfaced with an automatic scan ning image analyzer. The digital outputs from the particle analyzer or image analyzer were computerized and the number- length-mean diameter of each sample was calculated. The dusts trapped in the membrane filter sampler were subjected to scanning electron microscopy to determine the particulate and fiber content of the sample. Experimental Design 50 male Sprague-Dawley Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) derived rats of Spartan substrain and 15 male Golden Syrian hamsters were exposed to the asbestos dust. The duration of exposure CO --i CD CD CD cn cri was 6 hours per day, 5 days per week for a total of 150 exposures in 7 months. The exposures were conducted in a one-cubic meter stainless steel and glass chamber under dynamic airflow conditions. During the exposure, the animals were housed individually in wire gauze cylinders 3 inches in diameter and 12 inches long. The cylinders could be piled " CV;- 7 together up to 5 layers deep without affecting the dis tribution of dust to the animals. At the end of each ex posure day, the animals were removed from the cylinders and housed in gang cages with food and water. A comparable group of 50 rats and 15 hamsters was maintained in an animal holding room to serve as controls. These animals were not placed in individual cylinders daily but were deprived of food and water on a schedule identical to that of the exposed animals. At the termination of the 7-month exposure period, the ex posed animals were housed in a holding room with the control animals. Animal Observation During the exposure period all animals were observed for evidence of ocular, nasal and respiratory irritation. Body weights were determined once a week for approximately 8 months (7 exposure months and 1 month post-exposure) and monthly thereafter until all animals died. The body weight data were analyzed by analysis of variance and Dunnett's test, p<0.05. Pathology Interim kills of 5 control rats and 5 rats exposed to as bestos were conducted at the end of the 7-month exposure, [ STOOOIU5S 8 and at 1 and 6 months post-exposure (8 and 13 experimental months). A similar interim kill at 18 months post-exposure (25 months of the study) was conducted on 4 control and 4 exposed rats. (Hamsters were not killed at any of the interim kills because of the limited group size). At these intervals, the designated rats were starved over night and killed by decapitation. Immediately prior to sacrifice, the rats' tracheas were clamped under methoxyflurane anesthesia in order to avoid aspiration of blood. The lungs and trachea were removed and subsequently dis tended with phosphate buffered 10% formalin. The lungs, thoracic lymph nodes and representative portions of heart, kidney, liver, spleen, adrenal, testes, trachea, esophagus. accessory sex glands, stomach, thyroid, parathyroid, aorta, pancreas, small intestines, brain, pituitary, urinary bladder and any other tissues suggestive of a pathologic process were preserved in formalin fixative. Nasal turbinates from rats of the 6 month post exposure (13th month of the study) kill were also preserved in the fixative. Routine pro cedures were used to prepare paraffin-embedded tissue sec tions that were subsequently stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HtE). Additional sections of lungs and thoracic lymph nodes from all interim-kill rats were stained with special stains to detect the presence or absence of collagen CO GO CD c_n wA * 9 EB (Masson's Trichrome stain) and of reticulin (Gordon and Sweet's, or Gridley's or Gomori's staining procedure). The resultant sections of all rats were examined for histo pathologic changes. Special attention was given to the lungs and thoracic lymph nodes to define the response to repeated inhalacion of the asbestos dust. All rats not killed at interim kill dates were maintained under control conditions until they died spontaneously or were killed in a moribund condition (maximum of 870 days after start of exposure). All hamsters were retained under control conditions until they died spontaneously or were killed in a moribund condition (maximum of 723 days after start of exposure). All these animals were subjected to necropsy examination and the lungs were distended with phosphate buffered 10% formalin. The lungs, thoracic lymph nodes, and representative portions of heart, kidney, liver, spleen, adrenal, testes, trachea, esophagus, and any other tissues suggestive of a pathologic process or tumor formation were preserved in formalin fixative. Heratovylin and eosin stained sections of these tissues were routinely prepared fjr histopathologic examination. Thorough gross and histopathologic examination was conducted on tissues of rats and hamsters in order to (a) ascertain the probable cause of death, (b) define possible pulmonary response, and (c) evaluate tumor incidence. 8S*i i OGOIS `.i 10 Tumor incidence data were statistically evaluated with Fisher's Exact Probability Test. In all cases, probability values (p) of less than 0.05 were interpreted as indicating significant differences. ! STOOOI 453 11 STOOOI460 RESULTS Chamber Atmosphere A typical sample of asbestos dust retained on a membrane filter is shown in the scanning electron micrograph (Fig. 2). The dust consisted mainly of amorphous particulate matter and some fibrous material. Gravimetric analyses of over 400 samples of asbestos dust indicated that the average dust concentration in the chamber atmosphere was 85 t 52 milligrams per cubic meter of air. Particle size distribution analyses of the dust samples dis persed in mounting medium revealed an average number-lengthmean diameter of 0.8 urn. However, direct measurement of the dust particles suspended in air with a lighc scattering par ticle counter showed an average number-length-mean diameter of 4.1 ym. The larger diameter recorded by the light scat tering measurement technique suggests agglomeration of dust particles suspended in the chamber atmosphere. Animal Observation Durin nasal xch exposure period, signs of slight ocular and vitation were observed in both rats and hamsters. The animals buried their muzzles in the hair coat. The animals remained inactive until they were removed from the 12 dust atmosphere at the termination of each exposure. The body weight data (Fig. 3) indicated that after 1 month of exposure to asbestos dust, the mean body weights of rats were significantly lower than those of control rats. Weight gain improved slightly following termination of the exposures, but the mean body weights remained significantly lower than those of the control group until 14 months post exposure (21 experimental months). The mean body weights of the exposed hamsters were statistically decreased from those of the control animals on two occasions during the first month of the experiment. After 3 months >f exposure, the test ham ster's body weights remained statistically increased com pared to controls, except on isolated occasions, until the end cf the study. Mortality data for rats (Fig. 4) indicated no significant difference between exposed and control rats. Ninety percent of the rats died during the observation period between the 7th and 30th experimental months. Forty percent of the hamsters exposed to asbestos dust (Fig. 5), died during the 7 month exposure period. Remaining exposed hamsters died within 10 months post-exposure. Control hamsters did not start dying until 2 months post-exposure and some survived as long as 16 months post-exposure (23 experimental months). Thus, the lifespan of hamsters appeared to be significantly reduced by the exposure regimen used in this study. i ST0001461 -i : 'i, 7 * .-a>, : ST000I462 13 Pathology - Rats (Sec Tables 2 & 3*) In rats killed at the end of the 7-month exposure, pul monary deposits of the dust were visible grossly as isolated subpleural pale foci, usually less than 2 mm in diameter. Microscopically, the principal changes were isolated aggre gates of dust-lade macrophages within alveoli. Many of the affected alveoli wtie those that evaginate off the alveolar ducts or repiratory bronchioles of the pulmonary raceme. The alveolar membranes adjacent to these aggregates showed a very slight focal hypercellularity and thickening, but no discernible increase in reticulin or collagen deposition. The pulmonary interstitium and satellite thoracic lymph nodes sometimes contained aggregates of the dust, both extra cellular and intracellular within macrophages, with typically no significant increase in reticulin or collagen content. At subsequent evaluations during the post-exposure period (8, 13 and 25 months of the experiment), pulmonary reaction similar to that described at 7 months was noted. There were no marked accumulations of intraalveolar proteinaceous material, leukocytes or inflammatory debris nor were there marked fibrogenic responses in the lungs. `Appendixes A-D to this report contain gross and histopathologic observations on control and asbestos-exposed rats dying during the course of the study and also gross and histopathologic observations on non-pulmonary tissues examined at the interim examinations. u During the period from the 14th month to the end of the study at 29 months, the pulmonary response to asbestos also included some cases of focal alveolar hyperplasia, alveolar adenomatous proliferation, non-pronressive fibrosis and squamous metaplasia of alveoli. Pulmonary deposits of asbestos dust were no longer grossly visible by this time. More importantly, 6/34* rats exposed to asbestos and ex amined after months 13 of the study had pulmonary carcinoma formation as compared to 0/35* control rats with pulmonary tumors. The pulmonary carcinomas were seen in rats that died from 16 to 29 months after the initiation of the ex periment (294 to 571 days post-exposure). The incidences of all types of tumors found in control and asbestos exposed rats are summarized in Table 4**. Statistical t.o evaluation using Fisher's Exact Probability test showed that the incidence of pulmonary carcinomas was significantly CD CD CD increased in the group exposed to asbestos. The incidences of non-pulmonary tumors were comparable in both asbestos CT> CD exposed and control rats. Histopathologic studies of other, non-pulmonary, tissues revealed no alterations considered related to exposure to the asbestos dust. * A total of 15 rats per group had been killed for interim examinations at 7, 8 and 13 months of the study and one ex posed rat was missing. `Appendixes E and F contain a listing of the temporal in cidence of all tumors in control and asbestos exposed rats respectively. 15 Pathology - Hamsters* Hamsters that died during the exposure period had evidence of ulcerative enteritis and/or amyloidosis. Since ulcerative enteritis and amyloidosis can occur spontaneously in hamsters and were, in fact, later found in several control hamsters, it is difficult to consider the exposure to asbestos as the sole factor in this early mortality. However, it appears as if the exposure to asbestos or the stress of the exposure regimen was at least partially re sponsible for the earlier mortality observed in these hamsters exposed to asbestos. Two hamsters died during the exposure period with pulmonary lesions, one with focal consolidation of the lungs and one with pulmonary ectatic emphysema. These isolated cases may or may not have been related to asbestos dust exposure. All other tissue alterations in hamsters were considered spon taneous in nature and unrelated to treatment. The ability to evaluate long-term pulmonary effects associ ated with chronic inhalation of the asbestos was severely limited by the early mortality of 8/15 hamsters. The fol lowing comments are based on the examination of the remaining `Appendixes G and H to this report contain mortality data and gross and histopathologic observations on individual control and asbestos-exposted hamsters respectively. 'l 9*110001S 7/15 hamsters that died spontaneously from 10-16 months after initiation of the study. Deposits of the asbestos dust were not grossly visible in the lungs or thoracic lymph nodes. Microscopically, the principal pulmonary changes in exposed animals were isolated aggregates of particle-laden macrophages within alveoli. The alveolar walls adjacent to these aggregates were slightly thickened. Minimal focal alveolar epithelial hyperplasia near the affected bronchioles of the lung was observed in 3 of the 15 hamsters examined. In the control group of ham sters major pulmonary lesions were as follows: focal alveolar epithelial hyperplasia in 2/15 hamsters; eosinophilic material and pigment-laden macrophages in alveoli of 2/15 hamsters; cholesterol clefts and mineralized deposits in 1/15 hamsters. Based on the equivocal observations made cn this limited number of hamsters, there was no conclusive evidence of a significant pulmonary response to exposure to asbestos dust in this species. There were two cases of tumor formation in control hamsters, one a malignant lymphoma with widespread metastasis and one an adrenal cortical adenoma. There were no tumors observed in the 15 hamsters exposed to asbestos. This observation must be considered in light of the fact that 6 of the 15 STOOD 1465 I 17 hamsters in the asbestos group died within the initial 7 months of the study, whereas no controls died before the 9th month of the study. 1 fn S9{11OOOli 18 DISCUSS J OM The results of the present study indicate that exposure to asbestos pipe-covering dust at an average concentration of 85 mg/M3, for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week for 7 months caused pulmonary carcinomas in SFF-derived Sprague-Dawley male rats. The earliest pulmonar' carcinoma was found in a rat that died 477 days (approximately 16 months) after initi ation of exposure. Pulmonary carcinomas were found in "vl8% of the rats surviving longer than 13 months. In studies by Gross et al.. 21 (1967) , rats which were not SPF derived were exposed to chrysotile fibrous dusts. The average dust concentration was 86 mg/M3 and the duration of exposure was 62 weeks (approximately 14 months). The inci dence of tumors observed in their rats was approximately 16% and the first pulmonary carcinoma was found in a rat that died 16 months after initiation of exposure. In a comparison of the results of the two studies, it is interesting to note that the incidence of tumors in their rats was approximately the same as in our rats even through their animals were ex posed for twice as lung to a similar concentration. The latent period for tumor development was practically the same (16 months) in both studies. In similar studies by Reeves et al. 22 (1971) . rats were ex posed to chrysotile dust at a lower concentration of 48 mg/M3 ... ; ,,r- 19 for only 4 hours a day, 4 days per week for 99 weeks (ap proximately 23 months) . No pulmonary cancers were found. However, in an identical inhalation study with crocidolite asbestos dust, Reeves et a^t. noted a low incidence of pul monary squamous-cell carcinomas. Two of the factors believed to be associ - ted with carcino genicity of asbestos are (1) the morphology and (2) the trace metal contents of the material. Morphologically, the as bestos dusts used in the present experiment contained mainly 0.5 to 10.5 u particles and very few fibers (Fig. 2). Thus, the production of pulmonary carcinoma in the present experi ment supports the conclusion of Kogan e_t l., who considered fiber length or fibrous structure as non-essential for pathogenicity. 23 Regarding the trace metal contents (Table 5), the quantities of nickel, chromium and cobalt in the asbestos sample used in our experiment were quite comparable to those of the UICC (Union Internationale Contre Le Cancer) reference standard sample, 24 but were 2 to 4 times higher than the chrysotile samples of Gross ejt al., 21 and Reeves et al. 22 The high content o.: trace metals in the sample used in the present experiment may be an explanation of its high carcino genic potency. On the other hand, the success of producing lung cancer with crocidolite 22 wmch contained rather low concentrations of nickel and cobalt indicates that the ST000U68 mechanism of pulmonary carcinoma induction by asbestos dusts may not be entirely related to the content of trace metals. Additional studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism of carcinogenesis by asbestos dust. Furthermore, it would be necessary to examine the chronic effects from inhalation exposure to lower dust concentrations to determine a real istic industrial handling guideline based on animal studies. <.n CD CD CD cr> CD REFERENCES Hendry, N.
