Acute: Mechanical irritation of the mouth, nose and throat. Chronic: Many studies have been conducted to determine the potential long term effects of fibrous glass inhalation. Although inconclusive, some research supported by the industry indicates that manufacturing plant employees who were first employed more than 30 years ago in factories that manufactured glass wool and mineral wool have an

increased rate of lung cancer as compared to certain othe- reference populations. Further study is planned to identify those factors associated with the reported increased rate. Similar findings were not reported regarding employees in.textile fiber manufacturing plants. Animal studies have not demonstrated an increased rate of lung cancer when the animals breathed large quantities of glass fibers. Artificial implantation or injection of fine glass fibers into the chest, abdominal cavity.or trachea of laboratory animals has produced cancer. "
