    The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos

    Asbestos was used in thousands of commercial products before it was banned. Research has shown that exposure to asbestos can cause cancer and other health problems.

    It is not possible to tell by simply looking at a thing if it contains asbestos. It is also impossible to smell or taste it. It is only discovered in the event that asbestos-containing products are drilled, chipped or broken.

    Chrysotile

    At its peak, chrysotile accounted for 99percent of the asbestos made. It was widely used in industries such as construction insulation, fireproofing and insulation. If workers are exposed to asbestos, they could develop mesothelioma as well as other asbestos-related illnesses. Since the 1960s, when mesothelioma was first becoming a major concern the use of asbestos has decreased significantly. However, trace amounts of it remain in common products that we use today.

    Chrysotile can be safely used if a thorough safety and handling plan is put in place. Workers handling chrysotile are not exposed to an undue amount of risk at current safe exposure levels. Lung cancer, lung fibrosis and mesothelioma are all linked to breathing in airborne respirable fibres. This has been confirmed for intensity (dose) as in the time of exposure.

    One study that examined an industrial facility that used almost exclusively chrysotile to manufacture friction materials, compared mortality rates in this facility with national mortality rates. The study revealed that after 40 years of manufacturing low levels of chrysotile, there was no significant rise in mortality in this factory.

    Chrysotile fibres tend to be shorter than other forms of asbestos. They can penetrate the lungs and then enter the bloodstream. They are therefore more likely to cause health problems than fibres with longer lengths.

    When chrysotile mixes with cement, it's extremely difficult for the fibres to breathe and pose any health risk. Fibre cement products are extensively used in many parts of the world including hospitals and schools.

    Research has proven that chrysotile's risk is lower to cause illness than amphibole asbestos, like amosite and crocidolite. These amphibole types have been the most common cause of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. When cement and chrysotile are mixed together, a strong and flexible material is created which is able to withstand the most extreme environmental hazards and weather conditions. It is also easy to clean after use. Asbestos fibers can be easily removed by a professional and then safely taken away.

    Amosite

    Asbestos is a term used to describe a class of silicate mineral fibrous that naturally occur in certain kinds of rock formations. It is comprised of six main groups: serpentine, amphibole as well as tremolite, anthophyllite, and crocidolite (IARC, 1973).

    Asbestos minerals are composed of long, thin fibers that range in length from fine to wide. They can also be straight or curled. These fibers are found in nature in bundles, or as individual fibrils. Asbestos minerals can be found as a powder (talc) or mixed with other minerals and sold as talcum powder and vermiculite, which have been widely used in consumer products such as baby powder cosmetics, face powder, and baby powder.

    The greatest asbestos use occurred during the first two-thirds period of the 20th century in the period when it was employed in shipbuilding, insulation, fireproofing, and other construction materials. The majority of occupational exposures to asbestos fibres were in the air, but some workers were also exposed to asbestos-bearing rock fragments and contaminated vermiculite. Exposures varied by industry, time period, and geographic location.

    The majority of asbestos exposures at work were due to inhalation, but some workers were also exposed by skin contact or through eating contaminated food. Asbestos is now only found in the the natural weathering of mined ore and the degradation of contaminated products such as insulation, car brakes, clutches, and floor and ceiling tiles.

    There is growing evidence that amphibole fibres from non-commercial sources could also be carcinogenic. These are fibres do not form the tightly knit fibrils of the amphibole or serpentine minerals but instead are loose, flexible and needle-like. They can be found in mountains, sandstones and cliffs of many countries.

    Asbestos can be absorbed into the environment in a variety ways, including through airborne particles. It can also be released into soil or water. This can be triggered by both natural (weathering of asbestos-bearing rock) as well as anthropogenic sources (disintegration of asbestos-containing wastes and disposal in landfill sites). Asbestos contamination in surface and ground waters is primarily due to natural weathering. However it is also caused anthropogenically, such as through milling and mining of asbestos-containing materials, demolition and dispersal, and the disposal of contaminated waste in landfills (ATSDR 2001). Exposure to asbestos-containing airborne fibres is the most common cause of illness among people exposed to it occupationally.

    Crocidolite

    Inhalation exposure is the most commonly used method of exposure to asbestos fibres. These fibres can infiltrate the lungs and cause serious health issues. Mesothelioma as well as asbestosis and other illnesses are caused by asbestos fibres. Exposure to asbestos fibers can be experienced in other ways, such as contact with contaminated clothes or building materials. This type of exposure is particularly dangerous when crocidolite (the blue form of asbestos) is involved. Crocidolite is a smaller, more fragile fibers that are easier to breathe in and can get deeper in lung tissue. It has been associated with more mesothelioma cancer cases than other types of asbestos.

    The six major types of asbestos are chrysotile amosite as well as epoxiemite. Tremolite is anthophyllite, and actinolite. The most common asbestos types are epoxiemite and chrysotile which together comprise 95% all commercial asbestos employed. The other four asbestos types aren't as common, but may still be found in older structures. They are less hazardous than amosite or chrysotile but still be a risk when mixed with other minerals or when mined close to other mineral deposits like vermiculite and talc.

    Many studies have discovered an connection between exposure to asbestos and stomach cancer. A number of studies have confirmed that asbestos exposure is linked to stomach. The evidence isn't conclusive. Certain researchers have cited an SMR (standardized death ratio) of 1.5 (95% confidence interval: 0.7-3.6), for all asbestos workers. However, others have reported an SMR of 1,24 (95 percent confidence interval: 0.76-2.5), for those who work in mines and chrysotile mills.

    The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified all asbestos types as carcinogenic. All kinds of asbestos may cause mesothelioma or other health problems, but the risks differ based on how much exposure individuals are exposed to, the kind of asbestos used as well as the length of their exposure and the method by which it is inhaled or consumed. IARC has stated that the best choice for people is to avoid all types of asbestos. If someone has been exposed to asbestos in the past and are suffering from an illness such as mesothelioma or any other respiratory ailments it is recommended that they seek advice from their doctor or NHS 111.

    Amphibole

    Amphibole is one of the minerals that form long prism or needle-like crystals. They are a type of inosilicate mineral composed of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They typically have a monoclinic crystal system but some also have an orthorhombic structure. The general formula of an amphibole is A0-1B2C5T8O22(OH,F)2. The double chains contain (Si, Al)O4 tetrahedrons linked together in a series of six tetrahedrons. Tetrahedrons are distinguished from one another by octahedral sites that are surrounded by strips.

    Amphibole minerals are common in igneous and metamorphic rocks. They are typically dark-colored and hard. They are sometimes difficult to differentiate from pyroxenes as they share similar hardness and colors. They also have a similar Cleavage. Their chemistry allows a wide variety of compositions. The different mineral groups in amphibole can be identified by their chemical compositions and crystal structures.

    The five asbestos types belonging to the amphibole family are chrysotile, anthophyllite, amosite as well as crocidolite and actinolite. Each type of asbestos comes with its own distinct properties. Crocidolite is the most hazardous asbestos type. It has sharp fibers which are easily breathed into the lungs. Anthophyllite ranges from brown to yellowish in color and is made up of magnesium and iron. This variety was once used in products like cement and insulation materials.

    Amphiboles are a challenge to analyze due to their complex chemical structure and the numerous substitutions. An in-depth analysis of the composition of amphibole mineral requires specialized techniques. The most popular methods for identifying amphiboles are EDS, WDS, and XRD. However, these methods only give approximate identifications. For instance, they cannot distinguish between magnesiohastingsite and magnesio-hornblende. These techniques also do not distinguish between ferro-hornblende and.
