Mineralogical and Geochemical Fingerprinting of Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) in Asbestos and Non-Asbestos Tremolite: Implications for Human Health. [PDF]

Geohealth
Abstract This paper aims to comprehensively investigate the content of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in 11 tremolite samples to better understanding of their potential effects on human health. Accurate characterization of trace element concentrations in asbestos mineral fibers is crucial to elucidate their potential synergistic contribution to the ...

Raman spectroscopy for crystallochemical analysis of Mg‐rich layered silicates: Serpentine and talc

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 54, Issue 12, Page 1502-1516, December 2023., 2023
Combined Raman‐scattering and WD‐EMP analyses of series of natural serpentine and talc minerals demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy can be used for the quantification of M‐site Mg and (Fe2+ + Mn2+) amounts in talc as well as M‐site Mg and Fe2+ contents in serpentines with relative uncertainties below 5%.

Preparation, Characteristics, and Application of Biopolymer Materials Reinforced with Lignocellulosic Fibres

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Various environmental concerns motivate scientists and researchers to look out for unique new materials in science and technology. In order to address the demand for polymeric materials with partial biodegradability, the usage of lignocellulosic fibre in the polymer matrix has risen. Lignocellulosic fibres are a cheap, easily renewable resource that is

[Retracted] Applications of Neural Network‐Based Plan‐Cancer Method for Primary Diagnosis of Mesothelioma Cancer

BioMed Research International, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
“Malignant mesothelioma (MM)” is an uncommon although fatal form of cancer. The proper MM diagnosis is crucial for efficient therapy and has significant medicolegal implications. Asbestos is a carcinogenic material that poses a health risk to humans.

Cytology of malignant pleural mesothelioma: Diagnostic criteria, WHO classification updates, and immunohistochemical staining markers diagnostic value

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 532-537, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare but aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Because of this tumor rarity and overlapping histologic features with other malignancy types, the histopathological findings and diagnostic immunohistochemical workup are essential in establishing the final diagnosis of MPMs.

Identification of iron compounds in chrysotile from the Balangero mine (Turin, Italy) by micro‐Raman spectroscopy

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.

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.

Fungal diversity is not determined by mineral and chemical differences in serpentine substrates.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The physico-chemical properties of serpentine soils lead to strong selection of plant species. Whereas many studies have described the serpentine flora, little information is available on the fungal communities dwelling in these sites. Asbestos minerals,
