Figure 2

Effects of Cl 2 on airway histology. Twenty-four hours following Cl2 exposure lungs were collected, paraffin embedded and lung sections cut (5 μM). Sections were then stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Representative pictures of airway sections from control mice (A) mice treated with 100 (B), or 400 ppm (C) Cl2. Total epithelial cells were quantified in each airway and corrected for PBM and showed no difference between control and 100 ppm, but significantly fewer epithelial cells at 400 ppm (D). Epithelial cell height was also calculated and showed that mice given 100 ppm and 400 ppm had shorter epithelial cells than control (E).
