AbstractPathological effects of asbestos are probably dependent on the size and surface properties of the fibers. Surface‐modified chrysotile fibers were injected into the pleural cavity of rats to investigate the potency of the fiber to induce mesothelioma.

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 ...

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 Carcinogenicity of Chrysotile Asbestos
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1991In in vitro test systems, chrysotile is markedly toxic, causes chromosomal aberrations, and is capable of inducing morphological and preneoplastic transformation. In carefully designed animal experiments, chrysotile produces lung cancer and mesothelioma as effectively as do the amphiboles tested.

Mesothelioma from Chrysotile Asbestos: Update
Annals of Epidemiology, 2011There are different mineral classes of asbestos, including serpentines and amphiboles. Chrysotile is the main type of serpentine and by far the most frequently used type of asbestos (about 95% of world production and use). There has been continuing controversy over the capability of chrysotile asbestos to cause pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma. This
