Abstract
IN the course of work on experimental silicosis in which diffusion chambers were used, it was discovered that the reaction of the tissues to the chamber varied greatly with the pore-size of the membrane of which its walls were made. The chambers were of the type used in earlier experiments1 and the membrane was ‘Millipore’ type. The porosities tested were 0.65µ, 0.8µ, 1.2µ, 3µ and 5µ
