Differentiating Non-Asbestiform Amphibole and Amphibole Asbestos by Size Characteristics

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2008
Mining or processing asbestos minerals can liberate isolated fibers or fiber bundles regulated as airborne asbestos fibers. Coarsely crystalline amphibole minerals are more common than asbestos in many geologic environments, and disturbance can result in the release of prismatic or acicular single crystals or cleavage fragments resembling asbestos ...

Comparative health effects in mice of Libby amphibole asbestos and a fibrous amphibole from Arizona

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 2017
This project developed from studies demonstrating that Libby Amphibole Asbestos (LAA) causes a non-typical set of health outcomes not generally reported for asbestos, including systemic autoimmunity and an unusual and devastating lamellar pleural thickening that progresses to severe pulmonary dysfunction and death.

Quantification of Amphibole in Chrysotile Asbestos-Containing Products

2021
The results of analysis for amphibole fibers in 140 samples of finished products containing chrysotile asbestos are presented in terms of weight percent and fibers per gram. The products include friction materials, joint compounds, roof cements, floor tiles, a dryer felt, dental tapes, insulating paper (heat shields) from vintage consumer electronics ...

Nucleation of naturally occurring calcic amphibole asbestos

Environmental Research, 2022
This article proposes an initial model of natural asbestiform minerals growing in four stages. Structures dating from the early stages of the development were observed in the damaged zone surrounding meso-fractures, more particularly in microfractures, microcavities and microcracks that lie in front of and along mesofractures.

Determination of the Size Distribution of Amphibole Asbestos and Amphibole Non-Asbestos Mineral Particles

The Microscope, 2016
Over the last few years, there have been a number of investigations into the presence of amphibole minerals in soil or bedrock throughout the U.S., resulting in remediation of school grounds or highway right-of-ways, or delayed construction of needed dams. A review of available data suggests that the identified amphibole minerals were called “asbestos”
