Research progress on mechanism of epithelial mesenchymal transition induced by chrysotile exposure
环境与职业医学, 2023 As a mineral material widely used in life, chrysotile is a public health concern for its fibrogenicity and carcinogenicity. Currently, more than 50 countries have completely banned the import and use of chrysotile, but China is still the world's largest ...

The fate of chrysotile-induced multipolar mitosis and aneuploid population in cultured lung cancer cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Chrysotile is one of the six types of asbestos, and it is the only one that can still be commercialized in many countries. Exposure to other types of asbestos has been associated with serious diseases, such as lung carcinomas and pleural mesotheliomas ...

Insights on the deep carbon cycle from the electrical conductivity of carbon-bearing aqueous fluids
Scientific Reports, 2021 The dehydration and decarbonation in the subducting slab are intricately related and the knowledge of the physical properties of the resulting C–H–O fluid is crucial to interpret the petrological, geochemical, and geophysical processes associated with ...

Carbonation of Chrysotile under Subduction Conditions
Engineering, 2019 In order to understand the role of serpentine minerals in the global carbon cycle, high-pressure X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments were performed on chrysotile (Mg3Si2O5(OH)4) using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a pressure medium.
