Abstract Dust overloading of lungs was reported in various studies (Ferin and Feldstein, 1978; Vostal et al., 1982; Vincent et al., 1985). We investigated this effect in a variety of subchronic and chronic inhalation studies after exposure to benign or slightly toxic insoluble materials. The characteristic findings were accumulation of large quantities of insoluble material in the lung, impairment of the alveolar clearance and an inflammatory response.
