The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos

Asbestos was used in a variety of commercial products before it was banned. Research shows that exposure to asbestos can cause cancer and other health issues.

You cannot tell if something has asbestos claim just by looking at it, and you are unable to taste or smell it. Asbestos is only detectable when the substances that contain it are broken, drilled, or chipped.

Chrysotile

At its peak, chrysotile made up for 90% of the asbestos that was produced. It was used in many industries, including construction insulation, fireproofing, and insulation. If workers were exposed to this toxic material, they may develop mesothelioma or other asbestos related diseases. Since the 1960s, when mesothelioma became an issue asbestos use has been drastically reduced. It is still found in many products we use today.

Chrysotile is safe to use provided you have a comprehensive safety and handling program in place. People who handle chrysotile do not exposed to an unreasonable amount of risk at the present safe exposure levels. Lung cancer, lung fibrosis and mesothelioma have been strongly linked to breathing in airborne respirable fibres. This has been proven for the intensity (dose) as well as duration of exposure.

In one study, mortality rates were compared between a manufacturing facility that used a large proportion of chrysotile in the manufacture of friction materials and the national death rate. The study found that after 40 years of manufacturing low levels of chrysotile there was no significant rise in mortality rates at this facility.

As opposed to other forms of asbestos, chrysotile fibers tend to be shorter. They can pass through the lungs and enter the bloodstream. They are therefore more likely to cause health issues than fibres that are longer.

It is very difficult for chrysotile fibres be airborne or pose any health risk when mixed with cement. Fibre cement products have been used extensively throughout the world, especially in buildings like hospitals and schools.

Research has revealed that amphibole asbestos, like crocidolite or amosite is less likely to cause diseases. Amphibole asbestos types have been the most common source of mesothelioma, as well as other asbestos-related illnesses. When chrysotile mixes with cement, it creates a tough, flexible building product that can withstand the most extreme conditions in the weather and other environmental dangers. It is also simple to clean after use. Asbestos fibres can be easily removed by a professional and safely disposed of.

Amosite

Asbestos refers to a set of silicate fibrous minerals which are found naturally in a variety of kinds of rock formations. It is classified into six groups including amphibole (serpentine) and Tremolite (tremolite) anthophyllite (crocidolite) and anthophyllite.

Asbestos minerals consist of thin, long fibers that vary in length from fine to wide. They can also be straight or curled. They can be found in nature in bundles or individual fibrils. Asbestos minerals can be found in the form of 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.

Asbestos was widely used during the first two thirds of the 20th century for shipbuilding, insulation, fireproofing, and other construction materials. The majority of occupational exposures to asbestos fibres were in the air, however certain workers were also exposed to asbestos-bearing rocks and contaminated vermiculite. Exposures varied from industry to industry, era to and also from geographical location.

Most occupational exposures to asbestos were because of inhalation, but some workers were also exposed via skin contact or by eating food contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos is only found in the environment because of natural weathering and degrading of contaminated materials like ceiling and floor tiles as well as car brakes and clutches, and insulation.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that non-commercial amphibole fibers could also be carcinogenic. These are the fibres that do not have the tight weaved fibrils of amphibole and serpentine minerals, but instead are flexible, loose and needle-like. These fibres are found in the mountains and cliffs from a variety of countries.

Asbestos gets into the environment primarily as airborne particles, but it can also be absorbed into soil and water. This happens both through natural (weathering and erosion of asbestos-bearing rocks) and ananthropogenic (disintegration and disposal of asbestos law-containing wastes at landfill sites) sources. Asbestos contamination of surface and ground water is mostly a result of natural weathering, however it has also been triggered by anthropogenic activities like mining and milling demolition and dispersal asbestos-containing materials, and the removal of contaminated dumping soil in landfills (ATSDR, 2001). Airborne asbestos fibres are the most significant cause of disease among those exposed to asbestos Attorney during their work.

Crocidolite

Inhalation exposure is the most common method of exposure to asbestos fibres. These fibres can get into the lungs and cause serious health problems. These include mesothelioma and asbestosis. Exposure to the fibres can occur in different ways, like contact with contaminated clothes or building materials. This kind of exposure is particularly dangerous when crocidolite (the blue form of asbestos) is involved. Crocidolite is smaller and more fragile fibers, which are easier to breathe in and may lodge deeper in lung tissue. It has been linked to more mesothelioma cases than other types of asbestos.

The six main types of asbestos are chrysotile amosite and tremolite. They are epoxiemite, tremol anthophyllite, and actinolite. Chrysotile and amosite are among the most commonly used types of asbestos, and comprise 95 percent of all commercial asbestos currently used. The other four asbestos types aren't as well-known, but can still be present in older structures. They are less hazardous than chrysotile or amosite but can still be dangerous when mixed with other minerals, or when mined near other mineral deposits, such as vermiculite and talc.

Numerous studies have revealed an association between stomach cancer and asbestos exposure. The evidence is contradictory. Some researchers have cited an SMR (standardized death ratio) of 1.5 (95 percent confidence interval: 0.7-3.6), for all asbestos workers, whereas others report an SMR of 1,24 (95% confidence interval: 0.76-2.5), for workers in chrysotile mines or chrysotile mills.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified all asbestos types as carcinogenic. All asbestos types can cause mesothelioma, but the risk is different based on how much exposure, the type of asbestos is involved, and how long the exposure lasts. IARC has stated that the best choice for individuals is to avoid all types of asbestos. However, if someone has been exposed to asbestos in the past and suffer from a disease such as mesothelioma or other respiratory diseases it is recommended that they seek advice from their doctor or NHS 111.

Amphibole

Amphiboles are a collection of minerals that can form prism-like or needle-like crystals. They are a type of inosilicate mineral that is composed of two chains of SiO4 molecules. They typically have a monoclinic crystal system however some may have an orthorhombic structure. The general formula of an amphibole is A0-1B2C5T8O22(OH,F)2. The double chains are made up of (Si,Al)O4 Tetrahedrons which are connected in rings of six. The tetrahedrons can be separated by strips of octahedral sites.

Amphiboles can be found in metamorphic and igneous rock. They are typically dark and hard. They can be difficult to differentiate from pyroxenes since they share similar hardness and color. They also have a similar cleavage. However, their chemistry allows for many different compositions. The chemical compositions and crystal structures of the different mineral groups in amphibole could be used to identify them.

Amphibole asbestos consists of chrysotile, and the five asbestos types amosite anthophyllite (crocidolite), amosite (actinolite), and amosite. While the most commonly used form of asbestos is chrysotile, each variety has its own unique characteristics. Crocidolite is considered to be the most hazardous asbestos type. It has sharp fibers that can be easily breathed into the lung. Anthophyllite comes in a brownish-to yellowish color and is made primarily of magnesium and iron. The variety was used previously in products such as cement and insulation materials.

Amphibole minerals are difficult to analyze because they have a a complicated chemical structure and numerous substitutions. Therefore, a detailed analysis of their composition requires special methods. EDS, WDS and XRD are the most commonly used methods for identifying amphiboles. These methods are only able to provide approximate identifications. For instance, they are unable to distinguish between magnesio-hastingsite from magnesio-hornblende. Additionally, these techniques do not distinguish between ferro-hornblende as well as pargasite.
