Origin, Tectonic Processes, and Metasomatism of Serpentinite in the Shimanto Accretionary Complex, SW Japan: Possible Diapiric Intrusion of Serpentinized Oceanic Lithosphere

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Serpentinite plays a major role in the geodynamics of subduction zones. However, the processes by which serpentinite is incorporated into accretionary complexes, and the extent to which it interacts chemically and physically with accretionary lithologies, remain unclear.

An Evaluation of Mortality Rates and Their Determinants in a Cohort of Former Asbestos Miners in South Africa

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 446-460, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background A causal association between occupational asbestos exposure and lung disease, including pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma, is well established. Elevated mortality among former asbestos miners is expected. However, large‐scale South African studies examining all‐cause mortality in this population are lacking.

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,

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 ...

Mineralogical and Geochemical Fingerprinting of Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) in Asbestos and Non‐Asbestos Tremolite: Implications for Human Health

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This paper aims to comprehensively investigate the content of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in 11 tremolite samples to better understanding of their potential effects on human health. Accurate characterization of trace element concentrations in asbestos mineral fibers is crucial to elucidate their potential synergistic contribution to the ...

Filling of Chrysotile Nanotubes with Metals

, 2002
Nanowires were produced by injection of molten Hg and Pb into chrysotile nanotubes. The breakdown of chrysotile and the surface tension of the molten metals are the limiting factors for the filling procedure. The thermal stability of chrysotile nanotubes

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 ...

INFLUENCE OF STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF CHRYSOTYLE CRYSTALS ON THE ACTION OF THE SYSTEM OF CHRYSOTYLE AND SULFURIC ACID

Шәкәрім университетінің хабаршысы: Техника ғылымдар
The nature of the interactions between chrysotile and stoichiometrically necessary amounts (SNA) of sulfuric acid calculated in relation to the amount (molar) of magnesium contained in chrysotile – Mg6[Si4O10](OH) has been studied. It has been shown that
