Heavy Liquid Separation Method for Enhancement of Trace Asbestos Detection

Crystals
Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a widely accepted technique for detecting trace asbestos content in solid samples. However, accurately quantifying asbestos concentrations below 0.5 wt% presents significant challenges with XRD alone.

Cyto-genotoxicity of amphibole asbestos fibers in cultured human lung epithelial cell line: Role of surface iron

, 2010
The present investigations correlate the potentials of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and the cyto-genotoxicity of amphibole asbestos fibers (amosite, crocidolite and tremolite) with their surface iron, under in vitro controlled conditions,

Chrysotile effects on human lung cell carcinoma in culture: 3-D reconstruction and DNA quantification by image analysis

BMC Cancer, 2008
Background Chrysotile is considered less harmful to human health than other types of asbestos fibers. Its clearance from the lung is faster and, in comparison to amphibole forms of asbestos, chrysotile asbestos fail to accumulate in the lung tissue due ...
