The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos

Before it was banned, asbestos was used in thousands commercial products. Research suggests that exposure to asbestos can cause cancer and other health problems.

You cannot tell if something includes asbestos by looking at it and you are unable to taste or smell it. Asbestos can only be identified when materials containing it are broken or drilled.

Chrysotile

At its peak, chrysotile made up for 99percent of the asbestos made. It was utilized in a variety of industries including construction insulation, fireproofing, as well as insulation. If workers are exposed to asbestos, they can develop mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. Thankfully, the use of this harmful mineral has diminished drastically since mesothelioma awareness started to grow in the 1960's. It is still present in a variety of products we use in the present.

Chrysotile can be used safely in the event that a thorough safety and handling plan is put into place. It has been determined that, at today's controlled exposure levels, there is no danger to the people working with the substance. Inhaling airborne fibres has been linked with lung cancer and lung fibrosis. This has been proven for both the intensity (dose) and duration of exposure.

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

In contrast to other forms of asbestos, chrysotile fibres tend to be smaller. They are able to penetrate the lungs and pass into the bloodstream. They are therefore more likely to cause health issues than fibres with longer lengths.

It is very difficult for chrysotile fibers to be a threat to the air or pose any health risk when mixed with cement. Fibre cement products are widely utilized in many areas of the world including hospitals and schools.

Research has proven that amphibole asbestos, like amosite or crocidolite is not as likely to cause disease. These amphibole varieties are the main cause of mesothelioma, and other asbestos-related diseases. When chrysotile is mixed in with cement, it forms a strong, flexible construction product that can withstand extreme weather conditions and other environmental hazards. It is also very easy to clean after use. Professionals can safely dispose of asbestos fibres after they have been removed.

Amosite

Asbestos refers to a group of silicate mineral fibrous which are found naturally in a variety of types of rock formations. It is divided into six groups: amphibole (serpentine), the tremolite (tremolite) anthophyllite (crocidolite) and anthophyllite.

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

The most extensive use of asbestos occurred in the first two-thirds of the 20th century in the period when it was employed in insulation, shipbuilding, fireproofing and other construction materials. The majority of asbestos-related exposures in the workplace occurred in the air, however some workers also were exposed to asbestos-bearing rock fragments and contaminated vermiculite. Exposures varied from industry to industry, era to and also from geographical location.

Most asbestos attorney-related exposures in the workplace were caused by inhalation, however some workers were also exposed by skin contact or by eating food contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos is only present in the environment from the natural weathering of mined ore and the degrading of contaminated materials such as insulation, car brakes, clutches, as well as floor and ceiling tiles.

There is emerging evidence that non-commercial amphibole fibres may also be carcinogenic. These are fibers that are not the tightly woven fibrils of the serpentine and amphibole minerals, but instead are loose, flexible and needle-like. These fibers are found in cliffs, mountains and sandstones in a variety of countries.

Asbestos gets into the environment primarily as airborne particles, but it also leaches into soil and water. This is caused by both natural (weathering of asbestos-bearing rock) as well as anthropogenic sources (disintegration of asbestos-containing wastes as well as disposal in landfill sites). Asbestos contamination in ground and surface waters is primarily caused by natural weathering. However it is also caused by anthropogeny, 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 remains the main cause of illness in people who are exposed to asbestos on a daily basis.

Crocidolite

Exposure to asbestos through inhalation is the most popular way people are exposed to harmful fibres, which could then be inhaled and cause serious health issues. Mesothelioma, asbestosis and other illnesses can be caused by asbestos fibres. Exposure to fibres can occur in other ways, too including contact with contaminated clothing or building materials. This type of exposure is more hazardous when crocidolite (the blue asbestos form) is involved. Crocidolite is a smaller, more fragile fibers that are more easy to breathe in and may lodge deeper into lung tissue. It has been linked to a higher number of mesothelioma cases than any other type of asbestos.

The six main types of asbestos are chrysotile amosite as well as epoxiemite. Tremolite is anthophyllite and actinolite. Chrysotile and amosite are the most frequently used types of asbestos and make up 95% of the commercial asbestos that is used. The other four asbestos types aren't as common, but may still be found in older structures. They are less hazardous than chrysotile and amosite, but they may pose a danger when combined with other asbestos minerals or when mined close to other naturally occurring mineral deposits, like vermiculite or talc.

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

IARC the International Agency for Research on Cancer, has classified all types of asbestos carcinogenic. All asbestos types can cause mesothelioma, but the risk is different based on the amount of exposure, the type of asbestos litigation is involved, and how long exposure lasts. The IARC has recommended that avoiding all forms of asbestos should be the top priority, as this is the most secure option for individuals. If you have been exposed to asbestos and are suffering from a respiratory illness or mesothelioma, you should see your physician or NHS111.

Amphibole

Amphibole is a group of minerals that form long prism or needlelike crystals. They are an inosilicate minerals made of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They usually possess 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 composed of (Si,Al)O4 Tetrahedrons that are joined in rings of six. Tetrahedrons are distinguished from each other by octahedral sites that are surrounded by strips.

Amphiboles are present in metamorphic and igneous rock. They are usually dark and hard. Because of their similar hardness and color, they may be difficult for some people to distinguish from pyroxenes. They also share a similar pattern of cleavage. However, their chemistry allows for the use of a variety of compositions. The chemical compositions and crystal structure of the different minerals in amphibole can be used to determine their composition.

The five asbestos types that belong to the amphibole group include amosite, anthophyllite as well as crocidolite and actinolite. Each variety of asbestos has its own unique properties. Crocidolite is the most hazardous asbestos kind. It has sharp fibers that are easily breathed into the lungs. Anthophyllite is yellowish to brown in color and is composed of iron and magnesium. This type of stone was once used in products such as cement and insulation materials.

Amphiboles can be difficult to study because of their complex chemical structure and the numerous substitutions. A thorough analysis of the composition of amphibole minerals is a complex process that requires specialized methods. EDS, WDS and XRD are the most commonly used methods for identifying amphiboles. These methods are only able to provide approximate identifications. These techniques, for instance cannot differentiate between magnesio hornblende and magnesio hastingsite. In addition, these techniques can not distinguish between ferro hornblende and pargasite.
