Composition, Respirable Fraction and Dissolution Rate of 24 Stone Wool MMVF with their Binder

Abstract Background Man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF) are produced on a large scale for thermal insulation purposes. After extensive studies of fibre effects in the 1980ies and 1990ies, the composition of MMVF was modified to reduce the fibrotic and cancerogenic potential via reduced biopersistence. H...
