Cancer Mortality among Workers Exposed to Amphibole-free Chrysotile Asbestos [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2001
The issue of whether exposure to chrysotile asbestos alone, without contamination from amphibole asbestos, causes lung cancer and mesothelioma was investigated in a 25-year longitudinal study (1972-1996) in Chongqin, China. The study cohort comprised 515 male asbestos plant workers exposed to chrysotile only; the control cohort included 650 non-dust ...

Petrology and Geochemistry of Ophiolitic Pyroxenite in the Eastern Desert of Egypt: Genesis of Ultramafic Cumulates and Implications for Neoproterozoic Supra‐Subduction Seafloor Metamorphism

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract We describe and compare two outcrops of pyroxenite associated with Neoproterozoic ophiolite sequences in the Eastern Desert of Egypt: small masses in the Abu Samuki area of the North Eastern Desert and large belts in the Wadi El‐Mireiwa area of the South Eastern Desert.

Global use of asbestos - legitimate and illegitimate issues

Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology, 2020
Background Exposure to asbestos causes non-malignant and malignant diseases including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. The modern history of such diseases goes back more than a century.

Asbestos Burden in Lungs of Subjects Deceased From Mesothelioma Who Lived in Proximity to an Asbestos Factory: A Topographic Post‐Mortem SEM‐EDS Study

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 112-121, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Asbestos exposure and its pathological consequences, especially malignant mesothelioma (MM) still represent a major public health problem on a global scale. After the ban of asbestos in most western countries, nonoccupational exposure plays an essential role in MM pathogenesis.

Defining Asbestos: Differences between the Built and Natural Environments

CHIMIA, 2010
Asbestos – while most think they know what this material is, few understand the current issues surrounding it. Few would also realize that asbestos is the form of a mineral, and even fewer would know that there are different types of asbestos ...

Surface reactivity of amphibole asbestos: a comparison between crocidolite and tremolite [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractAmong asbestos minerals, fibrous riebeckite (crocidolite) and tremolite share the amphibole structure but largely differ in terms of their iron content and oxidation state. In asbestos toxicology, iron-generated free radicals are largely held as one of the causes of asbestos malignant effect.

Occupational and Hobby Exposures Associated With Myositis Phenotypes in a National Myositis Patient Registry

Arthritis Care &Research, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 104-115, January 2025.
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate occupational and hobby exposures to silica, solvents, and heavy metals and the odds of having the idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) phenotypes dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) versus inclusion body myositis (IBM), lung disease plus fever or arthritis (LD+), and systemic autoimmune ...

Advances in epidemiology and population-based prevention and control of cancers caused by asbestos exposure

生物医学转化
Asbestos is a collective term for six natural mineral fibers that have been widely used commercially. These fibers are classified into two main groups: amphibole asbestos (including crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite, and amosite) and ...

Thermal inertization of amphibole asbestos modulates Fe topochemistry and surface reactivity [PDF]

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2020
This study discloses the morphological and chemical-structural modifications that occur during thermal degradation of amphibole asbestos. Low-iron tremolite and iron-rich crocidolite were heated at temperatures ranging from r.t. to 1200 °C. Heating promoted a complex sequence of iron oxidation, migration and/or clustering and, finally, the formation of

Asbestos exposure and asbestosis mortality in Italian cement‐asbestos cohorts: Dose‐response relationship and the role of competing death causes

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 67, Issue 9, Page 813-822, September 2024.
Abstract Objectives In Italy, asbestos was used intensively until its ban in 1992, which was extended for asbestos cement factories until 1994. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dose–response between asbestos exposure and asbestosis mortality across a pool of Italian occupational cohorts, taking into account the presence of competing risks ...
