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

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‐

Index-based FT-IR assessment of chrysotile detectability and environmental durability in asbestos cement materials

Scientific Reports
Despite regulatory restrictions, asbestos cement materials remain widely employed among the population, thereby presenting significant environmental and health risks due to their chrysotile asbestos composition and vulnerability to weathering-induced ...

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.

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.

Filling of Chrysotile Nanotubes with Metals [PDF]

, 2017
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

Comparison of various methodological approaches to model asbestos thresholds for mesothelioma

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundThere is evidence to support several modes of action (MoAs), and particularly non-genotoxic MoAs, for mesothelioma induced by asbestiform elongate mineral particles (EMPs).

Asbestos in toys: an exemplary case

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2016
OBJECTIVES: DAS was an artificial clay which, once molded, hardened at room temperature. It was largely used as a toy between 1963 and 1975 in Italy, Netherlands, Germany, UK and Norway.

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.
