Considering the high contents of minerals and the potential health risk of mineral dusts to human and the environment, this paper was aimed to figure out the toxic effect and mechanism of four common mineral particles (quartz, albite, sericite, and montmorillonite). Cytotoxicity assays for cell viability (MTT assay), membrane integrity (LDH assay), oxidative stress (HO assay) and inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6 assay) were applied. The results showed the influence of these mineral particles on A549 cell viability followed the order of momtmorillonite > cericite≥quartz > albite.
