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

The Global Health Dimensions of Asbestos and Asbestos-Related Diseases

Annals of Global Health, 2016
The Collegium Ramazzini (CR) reaffirms its long-standing position that responsible public health action is to ban all extraction and use of asbestos, including chrysotile. This current statement updates earlier statements by the CR with a focus on global

Respirable Asbestiform Serpentines in Outdoor and Indoor Air Near an Active Serpentinite Quarry

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The excavation and processing of serpentinites release asbestos and asbestiform fibers into outdoor and indoor air near quarries. In this study, concentrations of respirable asbestiform antigorite and chrysotile in indoor and outdoor air in a village near a serpentinite quarry and processing plants in southwestern Poland were investigated. Serpentinite‐

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.

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.

Electrical Conductivity During Controlled Deformation at Upper‐Mantle Conditions: First Experimental Achievements in a Griggs‐Type Apparatus

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Electrical conductivity measurements on well‐characterized materials in the laboratory allow accurate interpretations of high‐conductivity anomalies within the lithosphere and asthenosphere, both affected by substantial deformation over geological times.

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

Petrography of phosphates in CI and CY carbonaceous chondrites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 11, Page 2594-2622, November 2025.
Abstract Phosphate minerals are significant carriers of volatiles (e.g., OH) and halogens in chondritic material; however, their origin in most groups of carbonaceous chondrites remains poorly characterized. We have determined the abundance, morphology, texture, and composition of phosphate grains in aqueously altered CI chondrites and in hydrated and ...
