Abstract: Investigates the effects of extracts of paper dust (PD) on isolated guinea pig tracheal rings to characterize possible mechanisms by which paper dust acts on the respiratory system in workers employed in recycling paper mills. Steady-state characterization of the PD extract dose-response curve; Effect of capsaicin pretreatment on the contractile activity of PD extracts.
