Ongoing downplaying of the carcinogenicity of chrysotile asbestos by vested interests [PDF]

Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology, 2021
Industries that mine, manufacture and sell asbestos or asbestos-containing products have a long tradition of promoting the use of asbestos, while placing the burden of economic and health costs on workers and society.

Ferritin adsorption onto chrysotile asbestos fibers influences the protein secondary structure [PDF]

Heliyon
Asbestos fiber exposure triggers chronic inflammation and cancer. Asbestos fibers can adsorb different types of proteins. The mechanism of this adsorption, not yet completely understood, has been studied in detail mainly with serum albumin and was shown ...

An Evaluation of Mortality Rates and Their Determinants in a Cohort of Former Asbestos Miners in South Africa [PDF]

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 446-460, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background A causal association between occupational asbestos exposure and lung disease, including pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma, is well established. Elevated mortality among former asbestos miners is expected. However, large‐scale South African studies examining all‐cause mortality in this population are lacking.

Mineralogical and Geochemical Fingerprinting of Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) in Asbestos and Non‐Asbestos Tremolite: Implications for Human Health [PDF]

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 ...

Epidemiological and Prognostic Differences in Malignant Mesothelioma Between Eastern China and SEER Database [PDF]

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
For long years, patients and clinicians in Eastern China used Western data as information foundation for management and treatment of malignant mesothelioma, due to its rarity and lack of deep investigation. This study updated the epidemiological data of malignant mesothelioma in Eastern China, and revealed better survival outcomes compared to Western ...

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

Scientific 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.
