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.

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2020 Objectives Occupational asbestos exposure is causally linked to mesothelioma. However, whether exposure to only chrysotile asbestos is associated with mesothelioma risk, and the heterogeneity in risk by different fibre types/lengths remains unclear.

Quantitative relationships of exposure to chrysotile asbestos and mesothelioma mortality
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2019 Background While asbestos has long been known to cause mesothelioma, quantitative exposure‐response data on the relation of mesothelioma risk and exposure to chrysotile asbestos are sparse.

Evaluation of Mineral Carbonation of Asbestos-Tex and Analysis of Airborne Asbestos Concentrations
Buildings, 2022 Asbestos is a human carcinogen that causes diseases, such as lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. In Korea, approximately 1.23 × 109 kg of asbestos raw materials was imported for about 30 years.

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.
