The combined carcinogenic activity of intratracheally inoculated Canadian chrysotile asbestos dust and orally or subcutaneously administered NDEA has been studied in long-term experiments in Syrian golden hamsters. In animals treated with asbestos only, no lung tumours developed, and single tracheal or laryngeal papillomas were found in only a very few cases. In animals treated with asbestos and NDEA, a synergistic effect which increased the incidence of lung tumours was observed.
