INVESTIGATION CONCERNING THE CAPACITY OF INHALED KAYLO DUST
TO INJURE THE LUNG
I. INTRODUCTION
In 1943 the Illinois Glass Company had developed to the pilot plant stage a new industrial product known as Kaylo which could be used
as a thermal insulating material and for other applications According to
information supplied by the company this product was prepared by beating
, under steam pressure a suspension of calcium hydroxide silica and asbestos
to form hydrated calcium silicate Studies at The Saranac Laboratory
showed that although the principal component of Laylo was the hydrated
calcium silicate some unchanged raw materials including asbestos and free
silios in the form of quarts or diatomaceous earth were also present in
. the final product
"
Before Kaylo was used commercially on a large scale
it was important to determine whether or not any dust liberated from this
handling product during manufacture
or fabrication would be likely to
constitute a respiratory hazard to exposed individuals Therefore a
comprehensive investigation was undertaken in which the effect of
inhaled
Kaylo dust on animals was studied The investigation was started in
February 1945 and was carried on for more than five years - It explored the
nature of the pulmonary tissus reaction to inhaled Kaylo dust in normal
animals and in animals harboring a tuberculous infection In this
study final report of the
the principal findings given in previous interin

Dust counts of atmospheric samples collected in the dust room with the
midget impinger were made regularly The concentration of Kaylo dust to
uninfected which the
animals were exposed was generally within the range of
100 to 125 million particles per cubic foot of air
and the overall average
was 115 million
In the experiment with infected animals the
concentration
was higher the average being 205 million

Since laboratory rats older than one
year even those not
exposed to dust are commonly subject to this type of lesion the high
mortality rate is not considered significant In order to follow the
progression of the tissue reaction to the inhaled Kaylo dust rats were
killed in groups of 4 after 6 9 12 15 and 18 months of exposure It
was revealed fig 8 that throughout the experiment the reaction to the
dust consisted of focal collections , in the alveoli of macrophages which contained particles and spicules of dust The only change observed as the
exposure period became longer was an increase in the number of the alveolar
fooi Similar filled macrophages were seen in the tracheobronchial
lymph nodes In no animal was there any tissue reaction typical of silicosis
The peribronchiolar fibrosis of asbestosis was not
discovered though occasion-

expected in 18 months exposure to Kaylo dust

There are three types of experiment which are valuable for determini
the effect of inhaled dust on the development of tuberculosis in experim
animals In the simultaneous infection experiment normal animals are in
with attenuated tuberole bacilli by the inhalation method and then are i
ately transferred to the dust room Thus the tuberculous disease and ti reaction to the inhaled dust will develop simultaneously In the reacti
experiment the mimals after being infected with the tubercle bacilli
allowed to live in a clean atmosphere for several months before being ex
posed to dust During this period the tuberculous disease generally reg
and some healing takes place Following exposure of the animals to some
dusts the lesions may continue to regress or with other dusts the tube
process may become active and spread The predisposition experiment is
C
in which animals are exposed to dust for several months are then infect
and are immediately returned to the dust room where their exposure to |
is continued In this way the effect of a previous dust exposure on th
early course of a tuberculous infection can be studied
For investigating the effect of inhaled Kaylo dust on the course o
tuberculous infection a particular attenuated strain of human tube

this condition which has been observed in experiments with other dusts is .
not entirely clear but it seems to be due in part to dilution of the inhaled dust with the inorganic components mobilized as a result of the increased
tissue reaction which developed as already mentioned in the guinea pigs
between 50 and 56 months of exposure to Kaylo dust Since only 2 minals were analysed for each exposure period individual values occasionally were out of line but the general trend was clearly indicated
T. REVIEW OF EXPERIMENTAL FINDINGS
The findings derived from the various inhalation experiments will be
reviewed briefly and some points of significance mentimed
A. FindinFginsdings for normal animals inhaling KayKloaylo dust
The results of the inhalation experiment prove that Kaylo dust aben
inhaled into the lungs of guinea pigs for a prolonged period 50 to 6
months is capable of producing the peribronchiolar fibrosis characteristic
of the disease asbestosis No fibrosis was formed by the inhaled dust in
rats or in hamsters with the exception that fibrosis was barely recognizable
in a single hamster exposed for 18 months In animals exposed for 30 months
or less the lesions showed no fibrosis but certain aspects of the lesions although masked by the reaction to the inert components in Kaylo dust were

Since

the major portion of Kaylo dust in the alveoli and the reaction

was noted that in the region of the bronchioles of for less than 60 months there was evidence of more is usual in the reaction to an inert dust Little
animals which were exposed
dust cell activity than significance was attached
to this observation at
first however because there was no indication of
reaction fibrosis The early
to Keylo dust is somewhat different from that
to asbestos dust since the particulate components modify the
of lesion
recognizedtype In silicosia modification of the lesions is a
condition
containing which follows the inhalation of a mixed dust
quarts and certain
inert material such as iron oxide
The rate of
pneumonia among the animals exposed to Kaylo dust was
unusually high Since the pneumonia rate has bem elevated also in several
inhalation experiments conducted with asbestos
dust it is possible that the
asbestos component of Kaylo may have an unfavorable influence on the incidence
of pneumonia
Verification of this possibility must wait further
study
While the experimental investigation proved that Kaylo dust is capable
of producing asbestosis the results showed that the dust will not cause
animals silicosis in animals of the three species tested In none of the

which be calcium silicate
is the major constituent of Kaylo it may said
that although there is no specific information about the effect of that
compound on pulmonary tissue there is much clinical and experimental
evidence to suggest that it is biologically inert Furthermore in the
inhalation experiment with Kaylo dust there was no deleterious effect noted
attributed which could be
to the calcium silicate component of the inhaled
material
This observation is supported by our studies concerning similar
calcium silicates in cement

Petrographic and ray diffraction analysis
The material consisted principally of clay n sen
which produced a definite ray diffraction pattern presumably
that of a hydrous calcium silicate Quartz particles up to
30 migrons in size were present but they were not numerous
and by weight probably made up less than 1 per cent of th
sample About 6 per cent of the material was calcite and
approximately 16 to 20 per cent was chrysotile or serpentine which was largely fibrous The fibers and bundles presont
were usually several millimeters in length and were seldom
shorter than 0.5 millimeter

Results
Peribronchiolar fibrosis like that of asbestosia produced after
86 months of exposure At so months of exposure reaction was
limited to accumulation of clumps of containing macrophages
without fibrosis A few asbestosis bodies v^reseen Tracheobronchial lymph nodes became enlarged but remained soft and without fibrosis
Pocal collections of dust-
containing macrophages in the alveoli and in the tracheobronchial lymph nodes Increase in number
of focal collections was the only change observed as exposure period
became longer No silicosis or asbestosis
Dust accumulated very slowly
No fibrosis except in one animal which showed very slight fibrous
reaction after 18 months of exposure
Asbestosis bodies in small number and at usual sites
