Chronic mesothelial reaction and toxicity of potassium octatitanate fibers in the pleural cavity in mice and F344 rats

Fiber‐shaped particles of potassium octatitanate (tradename TISMO; chemical formula K2O·6TiO2), which are morphologically similar to asbestos particles, were shown to induce severe proliferative reactions in the pleural mesothelium in a previous experiment carried out over 21 weeks. The present stud...
