Cytotoxicity of Heated Chrysotile [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1974 Cytotoxicity and hemolysis were studied in chrysotile and quartz. The biological activity of the surface seemed to be different between chrysotile and quartz. Quartz lost its cytotoxicity on heating over about 500 degrees C. However chrysotile showed remarkable toxicity and induced hemolysis on heating between 650 and 800 degrees C, compared with the ...

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 ...

A Systematic Study of the Cryogenic Milling of Chrysotile Asbestos
Applied Sciences, 2021 For more than 40 years, intensive research has been devoted to shedding light on the mechanisms of asbestos toxicity. Given the key role of fibre length in the mechanisms of asbestos toxicity, much work has been devoted to finding suitable comminution ...

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1974 The problems of quantitating chrysotile in water by fiber count techniques are reviewed briefly and the use of mass quantitation is suggested as a preferable measure. Chrysotile fiber has been found in almost every sample of natural water examined, but generally transmission electron miscroscopy (TEM) is required because of the small diameters involved.
