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

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.

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-related diseases remain common in Italy due to past exposures that were tolerated by a government distracted and manipulated by multinational asbestos corporations. The incidence of asbestos-related cancers has taken on almost epidemic proportions, for example, in Casale Monferrato in northwest Italy, where Eternit remained in operation until ...

In 2002 a total ban on asbestos was announced in Japan, following many years of sporadic and variably effective measures intended to control its use in that country. A major factor in instigating the ban was public awareness raised by the publicizing of the experience of asbestos-exposed workers in the U.S.

Abstract Asbestos is not uncommon in water, usually originating from asbestos‐cement pipes or asbestos‐containing aquifers. Although asbestos concentrations are typically less than one million fibers per liter, concentrations have occasionally exceeded one billion fibers per liter.
