Chemical, thermal and infra-red characterization of chrysotile modes from the Wadi Daftah serpentinite (Semail ophiolite), United Arab Emirates

Discover Geoscience
Serpentine minerals, either polymorphs or polytypes (mostly chrysotile, lizardite and antigorite), are hardly distinguished in ophiolitic serpentinites and serpentinized peridotite unless sophisticated mineralogical tools are applied.

Commentary on Notification and Recordkeeping of Occupational Mesothelioma in India

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 219-225, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In India, some occupational diseases are notifiable under the Mines Act, 1952, and the Factories Act, 1948. Mesothelioma, primarily attributable to asbestos exposure, has been listed specifically as one of the notifiable diseases under the Mines Act, 1952, and is notifiable under the category of occupational cancer in the Factories Act, 1948 ...

Structure of the North‐Central Chile Subduction Zone From Local Earthquake Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The fluid cycle in subduction zones prescribes large parts of its structure and seismogenic behavior. Background seismicity inside the downgoing slab is linked to fluid release from dehydration reactions, whereas fluid overpressure along the plate interface can alter interplate coupling, megathrust earthquakes, and the presence or absence of ...

Evaluation of Deposition and Clearance of Asbestos (Detected by SEM-EDS) in Lungs of Deceased Subjects Environmentally and/or Occupationally Exposed in Broni (Pavia, Northern Italy)

Frontiers in Public Health, 2021
Biodurability is one of the main determinants of asbestos hazardousness for human health. Very little is known about the actual persistence of asbestos in lungs and its clearance, nor about differences in this regard between the different mineralogical ...

Hydrothermal Alteration of Glass to Chrysotile [PDF]

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 2012
Chrysotile fibers were synthesized from glass in hydrothermal conditions. The starting materials were first held at 1650°C and then rapidly quenched down to room temperature. The resulting glass, after the addition of mineralizing agents, was hydrothermically altered in the following conditions: temperature 300 °

Emerging Strategies in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pleural Mesothelioma: An Overview

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 8, April 2026.
This review examines pleural mesothelioma, from risk factors and pathogenesis to diagnostic approaches and histological classification. We discuss current treatment strategies including chemotherapy and FDA‐approved immunotherapy, alongside emerging therapies such as VISTA, LAG‐3 inhibitors, and dendritic cell‐based approaches for personalized ...

Expression profiling of miRNAs in chrysotile-exposed lung epithelial cells

环境与职业医学
BackgroundChrysotile is widely used in construction and industry. Research has shown that it is associated with lung fibrosis in occupational groups, but the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in chrysotile-induced lung fibrosis has been less well studied,

Subduction Zone Magnetism: The Influence of Metamorphism and Serpentinization in the Mantle Wedge

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Subduction zone magnetic anomalies have previously been used to infer their thermal structure assuming a uniformly serpentinized mantle carries a homogeneous, isotropic magnetization. However, seismic tomography, geological observations and numerical modeling provide increasing evidence for a non‐uniformly serpentinized mantle wedge that may ...

Quantifying Vein Network Permeability in Dehydrated Serpentinites Using Thermodynamics and Generative AI

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Fluids released from subducting hydrated rocks influence volcanism, tectonics, and geochemical cycling, but the mechanisms of fluid escape in subduction zones remain poorly understood. We address this issue by investigating the Erro‐Tobbio meta‐serpentinites (ET‐MS), Italy, exhumed serpentinite rocks that preserve extensive dehydration vein ...
