Low Exposures to Amphibole or Serpentine Asbestos in Germline Bap1-mutant Mice Induce Mesothelioma Characterized by an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment. [PDF]
Cancer Res CommunAbstract Asbestos and BAP1 germline mutations are risk factors for malignant mesothelioma (MM). While it is well accepted that amphibole asbestos is carcinogenic, the role of serpentine (chrysotile) asbestos in MM has been debated.

Weathering of chrysotile asbestos by the serpentine rock-inhabiting fungus Verticillium leptobactrum. [PDF]
FEMS microbiology ecology, 2009 Verticillium leptobactrum, a rare fungal species, has repeatedly been isolated from serpentinic rocks in the Western Alps, thus suggesting that it adapts easily to this selective mineral substrate. The rRNA internal transcribed spacer region of several isolates has been sequenced to confirm their identity and taxonomic position within Verticillium, a ...

Airborne Concentrations of Chrysotile Asbestos in Serpentine Quarries and Stone Processing Facilities in Valmalenco, Italy [PDF]
The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2012 Asbestos may be naturally present in rocks and soils. In some cases, there is the possibility of releasing asbestos fibres into the atmosphere from the rock or soil, subsequently exposing workers and the general population, which can lead to an increased risk of developing asbestos-related diseases.
