In vitro correlates of mineral dust toxicity
Food and Chemical Toxicology, 1986In vitro studies of mineral fibres have shown that these materials are capable of causing the production of free radical damage (measured by the accumulation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive material) in a way that does not depend on fibre morphology but rather on a surface property, probably the presence of iron. The DNA-damaging activities of the same

Nanoparticulate mineral matter from basalt dust wastes
Chemosphere, 2016Ultra-fine and nano-particles derived from basalt dust wastes (BDW) during "stonemeal" soil fertilizer application have been the subject of some concern recently around the world for their possible adverse effects on human health and environmental pollution.

Exposure to mineral sands dust particles
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2004Abstract The aim of this study is to characterize the airborne particles in a Brazilian region with high concentration of mineral sands (Buena village). In this study proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE), plasma desorption mass spectrometry and alpha spectrometry were used for analyses of airborne particles.

Silica Minerals in Interstellar Dust
Nature Physical Science, 1971THE occurrence of a broad interstellar band in the ultraviolet at 2200 A (45,000 cm–1) has been confirmed by Nandy and Seddon1. They showed that the greater the height of the 2200 A feature the greater is the reddening Δ (B-V), which in turn is related to the intensities of the optical interstellar bands.

Occupational lung diseases—mineral dusts
1992Abstract A wide range of environmental agents in the workplace cause occupational lung diseases, in a variety of ways which overlap with one another. Gases and vapours such as chlorine, ozone, nitrogen oxide, and phosgene are lung irritants, and cause an acute pneumonitis, which may be resolved by prompt treatment but may also result ...
