Asbestos workers are unintentional victims of industrial progress. They are at risk of pulmonary fibrosis, pleural calcification, mesotheliomas and lung cancer. Asbestos exposure is now widespread, involving not only air but also drinking water, wine and beer.1 Fibers have been found in the lungs of people without industrial asbestos exposure. Whatever

Asbestos consumption, asbestos exposure and asbestos-related occupational diseases in Germany
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2006Like in most industrial countries, asbestos is a leading cause of occupational diseases, especially malignant diseases, in Germany. Following the increased consumption of asbestos after World War I, the recognition of asbestos related diseases developed.

Orientation of asbestos in asbestos cement
Cement and Concrete Research, 1979The orientation of asbestos fibers in abestos cement can be described by a directional distribution function characterized by two parameters: 1. σ12 — the distribution dispersion in a plane normal to the direction of the external pressure applied in forming the product (XOY plane), and 2. σ22 — the distribution dispersion in a plane containing

Abstract Chrysotile asbestos hemolyses erythrocytes within 10 minutes and over a wide range of pH. Other forms of asbestos show varying hemolytic activities which are related to the magnesium:silicon ratio of each form studied. Erythrocytes from different species of animals show different degrees of hemolysis when exposed to chrysotile, amosite, and ...

As the global campaign to ban asbestos gathers momentum, more countries and organizations are restricting the use of chrysotile (white asbestos). Attempting to reverse the fall in global demand, asbestos stakeholders have redoubled marketing efforts in countries such as India where health and safety regulations are not strictly enforced.

Atmospheric Environment (1967), 1980
Abstract Asbestos is a widespread industrial product. Its unique properties lead to many uses. The risks to health resulting from the processing and handling of different varieties of asbestos are discussed; the different methods for evaluating the effects of pollution of air and water on biological tissues are reviewed; and their quality is ...

That asbestos is still being sold despite overwhelming evidence linking it to debilitating and fatal diseases is testament to the effectiveness of a campaign, spear-headed by Canadian interests, to promote a product already banned in many developed countries. Blessed by government and commercial support, asbestos apologists have implemented a long-term

The asbestos-related pulmonary disorders to be discussed here include asbestosis, bronchogenic carcinoma, benign pleural diseases including effusions and plaque, and mesothelioma. I will briefly describe clinical features associated with these disorders, as well as selected features of their proposed ...
