Identification method of asbestiform mineral particles and cleavage fragments in the lung: Regulated and unregulated amphiboles

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Asbestos fibers are well-established causes of lung and pleural diseases. However, the role of other non-asbestiform elongate mineral particles (EMPs) in these conditions remains unclear.

Asbestos: current issues related to cancer and to uses in developing countries

Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 1998
Asbestos is one of the main occupational carcinogens recognized and studied in the literature. Its uses have undergone major changes in recent decades, with severe restrictions on commercial amphiboles according to different patterns: in developed ...

Pulmonary fibrosis following household exposure to asbestos dust?

, 2014
An 81-year-old woman was dying from histologically confirmed pulmonary fibrosis without having had any asbestos exposure in the workplace. The lung dust fibre analysis showed significantly increased "asbestos bodies" (AB) (2,640 AB per gram of wet lung ...

Inhal Toxicol [PDF]

Amphibole asbestos exposure is associated with the production of mesothelial cell autoantibodies (MCAA). These MCAA have been linked with pleural fibrotic disease in the asbestos exposed community of Libby, Montana, and induce collagen deposition by ...

Autoimmun Rev

A growing body of evidence supports an association between systemic autoimmune disease and exposure to amphibole asbestos, a form of asbestos typically with straight, stiff, needle-like fibers that are easily inhaled.

Mesothelin methylation, soluble mesothelin related protein levels and inflammation profiling in workers chronically exposed to naturally occurring asbestos fibers

Translational Oncology
Exposure to asbestiform fibers, including chrysotile and amphibole, is carcinogenic, causing malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) when inhaled. Some populations globally face Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA) exposure, leading to MPM cases like in ...

Cytological analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in asbestos-exposed workers: BALF features in asbestos exposed workers

, 2020
Background: Asbestos-related lung diseases are a group of heterogeneous disorders with different pathogenesis and prognosis. Very few studies investigated the BALF cell profile of asbestos exposed workers.
