Duffus (chief editor), Carcinogenicity of Inorganic Substances, Royal Society of Chemistry, page 49, The dust clouds for both the erionite and crocidolite exposures containing 10mg/ m⁻³ of dust, which produce fibre levels of 354 fibre cm⁻³ and 1630 fibre cm⁻³ > 5 µm in length, respectively. The erionite cloud contained fewer fibres and more equant particles.
