Abstract

Inhalation of asbestos increases the risk of lung cancer and pulmonary fibrosis. It is difficult to directly assess the distribution and content of inhaled particles in lung tissue sections. The purpose of this study is to employ an in-air micro particle induced X-ray emission (in-air micro-PIXE) sy...
