Italian talc has been tested on rats using three routes, intra-pleural inoculation, inhalation and ingestion. Groups exposed to superfine chrysotile asbestos and untreated controls were included for comparison. In all the experiments animals were allowed to live out their lives. The intra-pleural inoculation of talc produced no mesotheliomas in contrast to eighteen produced by the chrysotile asbestos. After ingestion, one leiomyosarcoma occurred with Italian talc and one with chrysotile asbestos. Whether these tumours are a consequence of the feeding is uncertain. The inhalation studies demonstrated that with equal dosage, talc can produce a similar amount of fibrosis as asbestos. However, the chrysotile exposed rats developed lung adenomas, adenomatosis and an adenocarcinoma, whereas the only lung tumour seen in animals exposed to talc was a small adenoma, which may have been an incidental finding.
