Abstract

Public Health Relevance

Exposure to carbon tetrachloride, a Superfund toxicant, is a health care concern in the Superfund sites and induces liver fibrosis. The goal of this study is to examine whether carbon tetrachloride exposure sustains liver damage and fibrosis in people with underlying diseases and to develop a sensitive new detection system for initiation of liver fibrosis.
