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 ...

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

This paper outlines the asbestos hazard in Scotland and draws upon a systematic oral history project to analyze from the workers' perspective the nature of exposure, the limitations of government regulatory initiatives, and the ramifications of contracting asbestos-related diseases for sufferers and their families.

More than ten years ago,The Journalpublished information that some cancer deaths associated with prior asbestos exposure might be related to more than asbestos alone and could be multifactorial in origin.1It had been found that inhalation of the mineral fibers greatly increased the already high lung cancer risk for cigarette smokers.

The major aim of our research is to assess the occurrence, within the serpentinites and serpentinite-derived soils located in the area of Sila Piccola (northern Calabria), of asbestiform minerals that could be potentially harmful for human health.

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 ...

Asbestos fibers in the general population.
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015We isolated uncoated asbestos fibers from the lungs of 21 urban dwellers who had fewer than 100 asbestos bodies/gram of lung, a level shown previously to be associated with environmental rather than occupational exposure to asbestos. Lack of occupational

The term asbestos collectively refers to a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals which have been exploited in numerous commercial and industrial settings and applications dating to antiquity. Its myriad uses as a "miracle mineral" owe to its remarkable properties of extreme resistance to thermal and chemical breakdown, tensile strength, and ...

Mortality among employees of an Ontario asbestos-cement factory.
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015Mortality among 535 asbestos-exposed and 205 nonexposed employees of an asbestos-cement factory was investigated. In the period beyond 20 yr from first exposure, the exposed workers had standardized mortality ratios of 175 for all causes of death, 370 ...

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 ...
