Habit of elongate amphibole particles as a predictor of mesothelial carcinogenicity [PDF]
Toxicology ReportsIntroduction: Amphiboles are a class of minerals that are abundantly present in the environment. Amphiboles may exist in several habits, with asbestiform particles behaving like typical amphibole asbestos and non-asbestiform (or massive) reported to be ...

Amphibole fibres in Chinese chrysotile asbestos [PDF]
The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2001 Abstract Ten chrysotile bulk samples originating from six Chinese chrysotile mines were studied for amphibole fibres. Five of the mines operate on ultramafic rocks whereas one exploits a dolomite-hosted deposit. The asbestos fibre content in lung tissue was examined from seven deceased workers of the Shenyang asbestos plant using these ...

Infra Red Spectroscopy of the Regulated Asbestos Amphiboles [PDF]
Minerals, 2018 Vibrational spectroscopies (Fourier Transform Infra Red, FTIR, and Raman) are exceptionally valuable tools for the identification and crystal–chemical study of fibrous minerals, and asbestos amphiboles in particular. Raman spectroscopy has been widely applied in toxicological studies and thus a large corpus of reference data on regulated species is ...

Exaggerated risk perception of asbestos-related diseases: commentary
Сибирский научный медицинский журнал, 2023 Health risks from asbestos have been evaluated on the basis of professional histories from remote past, when exposures at workplaces were greater than today. The linear no-threshold model has been applied, although its relevance has not been demonstrated.
