The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos

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

It is impossible to determine if a product is asbestos-containing by looking at it, and you cannot taste or smell it. It is only found when materials containing asbestos are drilled, chipped or broken.

Chrysotile

At the height of its use, chrysotile made up 99% of asbestos production. It was used by many industries which included construction insulation, fireproofing, as well as insulation. Unfortunately, if workers were exposed for long periods to this toxic material, they could contract mesothelioma, as well as other asbestos-related diseases. Thankfully, the use of this toxic mineral has decreased significantly since mesothelioma awareness began to grow in the 1960's. However, it is still present in trace amounts. can still be found in many of the products we use today.

Chrysotile is safe to use when you have a thorough safety and handling plan in place. It has been determined that, at today's controlled exposure levels, there is no unneeded risk to the people handling the substance. Lung fibrosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma have been strongly linked to breathing airborne respirable fibres. This has been confirmed for both intensity (dose) and time of exposure.

One study that examined the operation of a factory that utilized almost exclusively chrysotile in the production of friction materials compared mortality rates at this factory with national mortality rates. The study found that, after 40 years of processing at low levels of chrysotile there was no significant increase in mortality at this factory.

Unlike some 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 problems than longer fibres.

When chrysotile is mixed with cement, it's very difficult for the fibres to be airborne and cause health hazards. Fibre cement products are extensively used throughout the world, especially in buildings such as schools and hospitals.

Research has shown that chrysotile's risk is lower to cause disease than amphibole asbestos such as amosite and crocidolite. These amphibole kinds have been the main cause of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses. When cement and chrysotile are mixed with cement, a tough product is produced that can withstand extreme environmental hazards and weather conditions. It is also very easy to clean up after use. Professionals can safely remove asbestos fibres once they have been removed.

Amosite

Asbestos is one of the groups of fibrous silicates that are found in certain types of rock formations. It is comprised of six general groups: serpentine, amphibole as well as tremolite, anthophyllite, and crocidolite (IARC 1973).

Asbestos minerals are made up of thin, long fibers that range in length from very thin to broad and straight to curled. They are found in nature in bundles or as individual fibrils. Asbestos minerals are also found in the form of a powder (talc) or mixed with other minerals and sold as vermiculite and talcum powder and are used in consumer products such as baby powder cosmetics, face powder and baby powder.

Asbestos was extensively used in the first two thirds of the 20th century to construct construction of ships insulation, fireproofing and other construction materials. The majority of asbestos legal-related exposures in the workplace were in the air, however some workers also were exposed to asbestos-bearing rocks and vermiculite that was contaminated. Exposures varied from industry to industry, era to era and even geographical location.

The exposure to asbestos in the workplace is mostly caused by inhalation. However there have been instances of workers being exposed by contact with their skin or by eating food items contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos is currently only found in the air due to the natural weathering of mined ore and the degrading of contaminated materials like insulation, car brakes, clutches, and floor and ceiling tiles.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that non-commercial amphibole fibres may also be carcinogenic. These fibers aren't tightly knit like the fibrils found in amphibole and serpentine but are instead loose, flexible, and needle-like. They can be found in mountains, sandstones, and cliffs of many countries.

Asbestos is absorbed into the environment mostly in the form of airborne particles, however it can also be absorbed into water and soil. This can be due to 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 surface and ground waters is primarily caused through natural weathering. However, it has also been caused anthropogenically, such as through the mining and milling of asbestos-containing materials, demolition and dispersal, and the removal of contaminated dumping material in landfills (ATSDR 2001). Asbestos fibres that are emitted from the air are the most significant cause of illness in people who are exposed to it during their job.

Crocidolite

Inhalation exposure is the most frequent method of exposure to asbestos fibres. These fibres can enter the lung which can cause serious health issues. These include mesothelioma and asbestosis. Exposure to asbestos fibers can be experienced in other ways, such as contact with contaminated clothes or building materials. This type of exposure is especially dangerous when crocidolite (the blue form of asbestos) is involved. Crocidolite has smaller, more fragile fibers that are more easy to breathe and can be lodged deeper into 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, epoxiemite, tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite. The most popular asbestos types are epoxiemite and chrysotile which together make up the majority of commercial asbestos used. The other four asbestos types aren't as widespread, but they can still be present in older structures. They are less dangerous than amosite and chrysotile, however they may pose a danger when combined with other asbestos minerals or mined in close proximity to other mineral deposits, such as vermiculite or talc.

Numerous studies have shown that there is a link between stomach cancer and asbestos exposure. However the evidence is not conclusive. Certain researchers have reported an SMR (standardized mortality ratio) of 1.5 (95 percent 95% confidence interval: 0.7-3.6) for all workers exposed to asbestos and others have reported an SMR of 1.24 (95 percent CI: 0.76-2.5) for workers in chrysotile mines and mills.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified all forms of asbestos as carcinogenic. All kinds of asbestos can cause mesothelioma or other health issues, although the risks are different based on the amount of exposure people are exposed to, the type of asbestos used, the duration of their exposure and the manner in which it is breathed in or consumed. The IARC has recommended that avoid all forms of asbestos should be the highest priority because this is the most safe option for those who are exposed. However, if someone has been exposed to asbestos in the past and are suffering from an illness, such as mesothelioma or other respiratory diseases and require advice, they should seek out guidance from their doctor or NHS 111.

Amphibole

Amphibole is a group of minerals that form long prism or needle-like crystals. They are a type of inosilicate mineral made up of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They have a monoclinic structure of crystals, but certain crystals have an orthorhombic form. 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. The tetrahedrons are separated from one another by octahedral sites in strips.

Amphibole minerals are found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. They are usually dark-colored and hard. Due to their similarity in strength and colour, they can be difficult for some to differentiate from Pyroxenes. They also have a similar the cleavage. Their chemistry allows for a variety of compositions. The different minerals within amphibole can be identified by their chemical compositions and crystal structures.

Amphibole asbestos consists of chrysotile, and the five asbestos types: amosite, anthophyllite (crocidolite), amosite (actinolite), and amosite. Each kind of asbestos has its own unique properties. The most hazardous type of asbestos, crocidolite is composed of sharp fibers that are simple to breathe into the lung. Anthophyllite is brown to yellowish in color and is made up of iron and magnesium. The variety was used previously in cement-based products and insulation materials.

Amphiboles are a challenge to analyze due to their complex chemical structure and the numerous substitutions. Therefore, a detailed analysis of their composition requires specialized methods. The most popular methods to identify amphiboles are EDS, WDS, and XRD. These methods are only able to provide approximate identifications. These techniques, for example, cannot distinguish between magnesio-hornblende and hastingsite. These techniques also cannot differentiate between ferro-hornblende or pargasite.
