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 ...

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%.

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.

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.
