Air Pollution Toxicity Animal Studies 1963

To protect the public from harmful effects of toxic substances, scientists conduct toxicological testing of these substances in laboratory animals. Without laboratory animals, scientists would lose a fundamental method for obtaining the data needed to make wise decisions about potential health risks to humans. Scientists also want to improve their understanding of the mechanisms by which toxic substances cause harmful effects, which in turn will improve their ability to predict toxicity. Scientists continue to develop alternative methods which will improve animal well-being and further minimize the number of animals needed for testing.

This is clipped from the film, Smoke Dosage Apparatus (1963) made in Sweden about scientific research on the effects of air pollution inhalation on lungs. The film was made in 1963 for the cigarette company P. Lorillard Co. The entire film is available at the Internet Archives.
