Contemporary Methods for Evaluating the Health Impact of Chrysotile-Asbestos on Workers: Scoping Review [PDF]

Analysis of literature data on delayed effects (remote consequences) of exposure to mineral fibers on the body, including chrysotile asbestos, to study the mechanisms by which mineral fibers cause adverse effects in both animals and humans, is a hot ...

The asbestos fibre burden in human lungs: new insights into the chrysotile debate

European Respiratory Journal, 2017
The traceability of asbestos fibres in human lungs is a matter of discussion especially for chrysotile. This issue is of high significance for differential diagnosis, risk assessment and occupational compensation.

Ethanol fermentation of a diluted molasses medium by Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilized on chrysotile

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2003
In this work, the catalytic role of chrysotile support on the acceleration of alcoholic fermentation under non-aseptic conditions by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. The fermentation medium employed consisted only of diluted sugar-cane molasses.

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 ...

Synthesis and performance of polyurethane/silicon oxide nano-composite coatings

Science and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2019
Chrysotile asbestos has excellent physical and chemical properties, but its high biotoxicity is very damaging to human health, due to its durability, high aspect ratio, and the exist of iron.

Siderophore-mediated iron removal from chrysotile: Implications for asbestos toxicity reduction and bioremediation

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2017
Asbestos fibers are highly toxic (Group 1 carcinogen) due to their high aspect ratio, durability, and the presence of iron. In nature, plants, fungi, and microorganisms release exudates, which can alter the physical and chemical properties of soil ...

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 ...

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.
