The importance of mineralogical composition for the cytotoxic and pro-inflammatory effects of mineral dust

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2022
Background Respirable mineral particles represent a potential health hazard in occupational settings and ambient air. Previous studies show that mineral particles may induce cytotoxicity and inflammatory reactions in vitro and in vivo and that the ...

True grit: ingestion of small stone particles by hummingbirds in West Mexico [PDF]

open access: yesAvian Research, 2021
AbstractBackgroundGrit is used by birds mainly for grinding hard food items but can also serve a nutritional role as a source of minerals. Ingestion of grit by birds has been documented primarily in species that feed on seeds and invertebrates. Although feeding mainly on nectar and small arthropods, hummingbirds also ingest grit, but why they do so is ...
