Abstract This article reports the possibility of detoxification of chrysotile asbestos through a low temperature heating and grinding treatment. The effect of thermal treatment at different temperatures in the range from 500 to 725 °C for 3 h on raw natural asbestos was characterized by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron …

It is estimated that asbestos fibers have been used to produce 2,000 to 3,000 discrete commercial and industrial products.2 Asbestos fibers may be released during product manufacturing, distribution in commerce, and end use. Persons may be exposed to asbestos fibers during the performance of these activities.

CHRYSOTILE KEY FACTS. What is chrysotile asbestos? • Chrysotile is asbestos. • Asbestos is the term used for a group of six naturally occurring mineral fibres. These fibres form two groups – serpentine and amphibole asbestos. • Chrysotile is the only serpentine form of asbestos. • Chrysotile is the most common type of asbestos.

Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma. This cancer forms in the lining of the lungs or abdomen. Other types of cancer caused by asbestos include lung, ovarian and laryngeal cancer. Exposure may cause scarring of the lungs or asbestosis. U.S. companies produced thousands of products containing asbestos until the 1980s.

The potential toxic effects of short chrysotile and amphibole asbestos fibers with lengths <5 to ∼10 µm have been debated over the years. This stems from the large database of epidemiology, toxicology, and in-vitro studies, each of which often provides different information in understanding and differentiating the effects of short fibers.

ABSTRACT: To measure the toxic potential of asbestos fibers a known cause of asbestosis, lung cancer, and malignant mesothelioma asbestos minerals are generally first ground down to small fibers, but it is unknown whether the grinding condition itself changes the fiber toxicity. To evaluate this, we ground chrysotile ore with or without
