Abstract In reviewing the science it is important to remember that asbestos is such a toxic material that even relatively trivial exposure can result in serious or fatal injury. For that reason, one might have expected physicians and allied scientists to have led the campaigns against the mineral and against the companies that produced ...

Mechanism of haemolysis by chrysotile fibres
Toxicology Letters, 1983Haemolysis by chrysotile fibres may be related to an adsorption of the red blood cell (RBC) membranes on the fibres and not to an interaction between magnesium (Mg) from the fibres and sialic acid from RBC. This was demonstrated using neuraminidase (NANASE)-treated RBC and Mg-depleted chrysotile fibres.

MACROPHAGE-ASSOCIATED RESPONSES TO CHRYSOTILE
Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 1994The different pulmonary macrophage (airway macrophages, alveolar macrophages, interstitial macrophages, intravascular macrophages, pleural macrophages) are an important part of the lungs' defences against non-fibrous and fibrous particles deposited by inhalation.

The Defence of Chrysotile, 1912–2007
International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2008The commercial exploitation of asbestos may be dated from the late 1870s, when Canada was the major world source. Reports of severe and fatal respiratory disease in workers in asbestos factories appeared in Britain (1898, 1906), and in France (1906) and Italy (1908).

THE HYGIENE STANDARD FOR CHRYSOTILE ASBESTOS
The Lancet, 1978Previous studies, including the analysis on which the current 2 fibres/cm3 hygiene standard is based, may have underestimated the risk of morbidity or mortality following exposure to low levels of asbestos dust. Accurate dose-response data at levels below 2 fibres/cm3 are unlikely to be available for the foreseeable future, and the biologically ...
