Lung content analysis of cases occupationally exposed to chrysotile asbestos. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The lung contents of six workers who had been occupationally exposed to chrysotile asbestos were examined. Five were lung cancer cases from Quebec, Canada. The sixth, an American worker who had developed pleural mesothelioma, was particularly interesting,

Use of the Ellipsoid of Variographic Anisotropy as a Kinematic Indicator in Rock Massifs Fractured by Faults - the Example of the Cana Brava Chrysotile Asbestos Deposit (Minaçu, GO) [PDF]

open access: yesGeologia USP. Série Científica, 2011
The parameters of a variogram depend on which direction it is calculated, such as the ellipsoid of variographicanisotropy, whose axes indicate the directions of higher, medium and lower continuity of the variable used to calculate thevariogram ...

Assessment of asbestos exposure in Kyrgyzstan through analysis of raw and processed materials, air samples and human lung tissue

open access: yesScientific Reports
Asbestos still represents a major public health problem on a global scale. In Central Asia chrysotile is still mined and used, claiming that it is safer with respect to amphibole asbestos within certain concentrations.

Selective Detection and Automated Counting of Fluorescently-Labeled Chrysotile Asbestos Using a Dual-Mode High-Throughput Microscopy (DM-HTM) Method

open access: yesSensors, 2013
Phase contrast microscopy (PCM) is a widely used analytical method for airborne asbestos, but it is unable to distinguish asbestos from non-asbestos fibers and requires time-consuming and laborious manual counting of fibers.
