Habit of elongate amphibole particles as a predictor of mesothelial carcinogenicity. [PDF]

Toxicol Rep
Introduction: Amphiboles are a class of minerals that are abundantly present in the environment. Amphiboles may exist in several habits, with asbestiform particles behaving like typical amphibole asbestos and non-asbestiform (or massive) reported to be ...
