Recalculation of the IL-8 gene expression data for particle number. Quantitative RT-PCR gene expression data for IL-8 collected following a 24 h exposure of HAEC to increasing doses of the amphibole samples plotted with respect to (A) total particle number dose expressed as the log of the total number of mineral particles per cm2 cellular surface area and (B) elongated mineral particle (EMP) dose expressed as the log of the number of mineral particles with aspect ratio ≥ 3:1 per cm2 cellular surface area.
