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 ...
