Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 53, Issue 11, Page 1931-1941, November 2022., 2022 Fe‐bearing impurities associated with asbestos fibers were identified as Fe oxides, carbonates, and sulfides, including uncommonly reported phases in asbestos minerals. Abstract Chrysotile, one of the six regulated asbestos minerals, is classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

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.

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

Comparative Studies on the Cytotoxicity of Amphibole and Serpentine Asbestos
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1980 The chemical and physical properties of serpentine and amphibole asbestos are considered in the context of their interaction with tissue of the tracheobronchial tree and lungs. In vitro studies in cultures of several types are evaluated and work with the erythrocyte hemolysis system is reviewed.

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