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 ...
