DOI: 10.1002/jat.4053
Abstract: Refractory ceramic fibers (RCFs) are increasingly used as heating‐insulated materials in various industries. However, toxicological and epidemiological studies focusing on the adverse effects of RCFs were still insufficient, particularly in China. We conducted a cross‐sectional… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph15010042
Abstract: Refractory ceramic fibers (RCFs) can cause adverse health effects on workers’ respiratory system, yet no proper biomarkers have been used to detect early pulmonary injury of RCFs-exposed workers. This study assessed the levels of two… read more here.
