International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Theories of disease pathogenesis following asbestos exposure have focused on the participation of iron. After exposure, an open network of negatively charged functional groups on the fiber surface complexes host metals with a preference for iron. Competition for iron between the host and the asbestos results in a functional metal deficiency.

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Why do employees conceal their coworkers' unethical behavior and who is most likely to do so? To address these questions, we begin by developing and validating a psychometrically robust measure of relational cover‐up behavior (Study 1). Using a two‐wave study (N = 475), we then test the argument that employees may experience an identity threat
