Raman spectroscopy for crystallochemical analysis of Mg‐rich layered silicates: Serpentine and talc

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 54, Issue 12, Page 1502-1516, December 2023., 2023
Combined Raman‐scattering and WD‐EMP analyses of series of natural serpentine and talc minerals demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy can be used for the quantification of M‐site Mg and (Fe2+ + Mn2+) amounts in talc as well as M‐site Mg and Fe2+ contents in serpentines with relative uncertainties below 5%.

Occupational interstitial lung diseases

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 294, Issue 6, Page 798-815, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Millions of workers are exposed to substances known to cause occupational interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), particularly in developing countries. However, the burden of the disease is likely to be underestimated due to under‐recognition, under‐reporting or both.

Four mesothelioma cases from a single automotive dealership: A case series

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 66, Issue 10, Page 904-906, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Four cases of mesothelioma were noted in a workplace of some 110 persons at a tractor dealership between 2006 and 2023. Each worker had a different job title. Methods Medical‐legal case material was reviewed and abstracted from four cases from the same dealership, all supplied via one law firm.

Advanced models for respiratory disease and drug studies

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 1470-1503, September 2023., 2023
Abstract The global burden of respiratory diseases is enormous, with many millions of people suffering and dying prematurely every year. The global COVID‐19 pandemic witnessed recently, along with increased air pollution and wildfire events, increases the urgency of identifying the most effective therapeutic measures to combat these diseases even ...

Modelling the Fenton reaction of amphibole asbestos [PDF]

, 2022
In this work a sample of UICC crocidolite and a sample of fibrous tremolite were leached up to 1 week both in a simplified Gamble’s solution at acidic pH and in a phosphate buffered medium at neutral pH, in presence of H2O2.

Preparation, Characteristics, and Application of Biopolymer Materials Reinforced with Lignocellulosic Fibres

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Various environmental concerns motivate scientists and researchers to look out for unique new materials in science and technology. In order to address the demand for polymeric materials with partial biodegradability, the usage of lignocellulosic fibre in the polymer matrix has risen. Lignocellulosic fibres are a cheap, easily renewable resource that is

Estimating the asbestos-related lung cancer burden from mesothelioma mortality. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Quantifying the asbestos-related lung cancer burden is difficult in the presence of this disease's multiple causes. We explore two methods to estimate this burden using mesothelioma deaths as a proxy for asbestos exposure.

Occurrence and characterization of tremolite asbestos from the Mid Atlantic Ridge

Scientific Reports, 2021
Tremolite is one of the most common amphibole species and, in the fibrous form (i.e., characterized by crystals/particles consisting of fibres with length > 5 µm, width  3), one of the six asbestos minerals.
