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 ...

Clays for Low‐Carbon Cements: Overview, Progress, and Challenges

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.
This review provides a critical overview of recent developments of activated clays to function as artificial pozzolans. After a thorough description of the clays that yield good pozzolanic performances, selected examples are given on thermal and mechanical activations. Chiefly, general correlations are extracted from reported data despite its scattered

Trends in Pleural Mesothelioma Incidence and Survival in Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Areas in the United States

Cancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare, aggressive cancer with significant variation in incidence based on geographic factors. Previous studies have highlighted cancer survival disparities between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan populations for other cancers; this data is largely unreported for PM.

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,

Multi-Analytical Approach for Identifying Asbestos Minerals In Situ

Geosciences, 2018
An innovative and, as yet, untested approach is to analyze serpentinite and metabasite rocks containing asbestos using a portable multi-analytical device, which combines portable digital microscopy (p-DM), portable X-ray Fluorescence (p-XRF) and portable

Phyllosilicate Infrared Spectral Features as Tracers of Aqueous Alteration in CM Chondrites and Implications for Remote Sensing of Hydrated Asteroids

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract CM (Mighei‐type) carbonaceous chondrites host abundant OH/H2O‐bearing phyllosilicates formed from water‐rock reactions in primitive planetesimals. Their infrared (IR) spectral features resemble those of C‐type asteroids, making laboratory analyses of CMs essential for interpreting asteroid observations.

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study of Serpentine Minerals and Assignment of the OH Group

Crystals, 2021
Three different kinds of serpentine mineral samples were investigated using Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FTNIR). The results show that there are obvious differences in the characteristic infrared spectra of the three serpentine group ...
