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 ...

In vitro toxicity of short vs long chrysotile fibres [PDF]
, 2023 Chrysotile is a natural hydrous layer silicate that belongs to the serpentine group. Because of its unique asbestiform shape and outstanding physical-chemical properties, chrysotile is still nowadays the most used commercial mineral fibre in the world ...

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 ...

Estimating the asbestos-related lung cancer burden from mesothelioma mortality. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Quantifying the asbestos-related lung cancer burden is difficult in the presence of this disease's multiple causes. We explore two methods to estimate this burden using mesothelioma deaths as a proxy for asbestos exposure.

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.
