Chrysotile effects on human lung cell carcinoma in culture: 3-D reconstruction and DNA quantification by image analysis [PDF]
BMC Cancer, 2008 Background Chrysotile is considered less harmful to human health than other types of asbestos fibers. Its clearance from the lung is faster and, in comparison to amphibole forms of asbestos, chrysotile asbestos fail to accumulate in the lung tissue due ...
