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.

Engineering siderophore production in Pseudomonas to improve asbestos weathering
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 9, Page 2351-2363, September 2022., 2022 Pseudomonas strains release iron from flocking asbestos waste through a siderophore‐driven mechanism. Modification of the regulation of the siderophore pyoverdine in Pseudomonas aeruginosa enables a higher level of pyoverdine production and an improvement of iron and magnesium extraction from asbestos fibers.

Case‐fatality study of workers and residents with radiographic asbestos disease in Libby, Montana
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 65, Issue 3, Page 196-202, March 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Vermiculite ore from Libby, Montana contains on average 24% of a mixture of toxic and carcinogenic amphibole asbestiform fibers. These comprise primarily winchite (84%), with smaller quantities of richterite (11%) and tremolite (6%), which are together referred to as Libby amphibole (LA). Methods A total of 1883 individuals who were

Asbestos Detection with Fluorescence Microscopy Images and Deep Learning
Sensors, 2021 Fluorescent probes can be used to detect various types of asbestos (serpentine and amphibole groups); however, the fiber counting using our previously developed software was not accurate for samples with low fiber concentration.

Modelling the Fenton reaction of amphibole asbestos
, 2022 <p>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&#8217;s solution at acidic pH and in a phosphate buffered medium at neutral pH, in presence of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>.

Critical reappraisal of Balangero chrysotile and mesothelioma risk
Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health, 2014 BackgroundBalangero, 40 km northwest of Torino in the Piedmonte Region, was home to the largest and most active chrysotile mine in Europe operating from 1916 - 1990 and employed over 300 men at any one time. The chrysotile was thought to be pure. Despite
