Selected synthetic organic fibres (EHC 151, 1993) (15252 words)
The estimated consumption of rayon-based carbon fibres from 1970 to 1976 was 50 to 125 tonnes (Volk, 1979).
Fibres 50 to 100 µm in length with diameters 6 to 8 µm were observed and found to have dimensions similar to those of fibres in the composite material.
Because of the tendency of fibres to align parallel to the direction of airflow, the deposition of fibrous particles in the respiratory tract is largely a function of fibre diameter, with length and aspect ratio being of secondary importance.
