The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos
Before it was banned asbestos was used in a myriad of commercial products. According to studies, exposure to asbestos can cause cancer and a host of other health issues.
It is not possible to tell by simply taking a look at something if it is made up of asbestos. Neither can you smell or taste it. Asbestos can only be detected when materials containing it are broken, drilled, or chipped.
Chrysotile
At its height, chrysotile provided for 99% of the asbestos produced. It was used by many industries including construction insulation, fireproofing and insulation. Unfortunately, if workers were exposed to the toxic material, they could develop mesothelioma as well as other asbestos related diseases. Since the 1960s, when mesothelioma became a concern, the use of asbestos claim has declined significantly. However, it is still present in trace amounts. can still be found in many of the products we use today.
Chrysotile can be safely used in the event that a thorough safety and handling plan is put into place. Chrysotile handling workers aren't exposed to an unreasonable amount of risk at the present safe exposure levels. Lung fibrosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma have been strongly connected to breathing in airborne respirable fibres. This has been proven both for intensity (dose) as and the duration of exposure.
In one study, mortality rates were compared between a factory that used a large proportion of Chrysotile for the production of friction materials and the national death rate. It was found that for 40 years of processing asbestos chrysotile at a low level of exposure, there was no significant additional mortality in this factory.
Unlike some other forms of asbestos, chrysotile fibers tend to be smaller. They can penetrate the lungs and then enter the bloodstream. This makes them more prone to cause negative effects than fibres with longer lengths.
It is very difficult for chrysotile fibres to be a threat to the air or pose any health risk when mixed with cement. Fibre cement products are extensively used all over the world, especially in buildings like hospitals and schools.
Research has proven that amphibole asbestos, such as amosite, crocidolite, or crocidolite, is less likely than chrysotile in causing disease. Amphibole asbestos types have been the most common cause of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. When chrysotile mixes with cement, it forms a strong, flexible building product that is able to withstand severe conditions in the weather and other environmental dangers. It is also simple to clean after use. Asbestos fibres can easily be removed by a professional, and then eliminated.
Amosite
Asbestos is one of the groups of fibrous silicates that are found in a variety of rock formations. It consists of six general groups: serpentine, amphibole anthophyllite, tremolite and crocidolite (IARC 1973).
Asbestos minerals are composed of long, thin fibers that vary in length from fine to broad. They can be curled or straight. They can be found in nature in bundles or as 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.
The largest use of asbestos occurred in the early two-thirds of the 20th century where it was used in insulation, shipbuilding, fireproofing, and other construction materials. The majority of asbestos exposures for work were in the air, but some workers were also exposed to asbestos-bearing rock fragments and contaminated vermiculite. Exposures varied from industry to industry, era to era, and geographical location.
The majority of asbestos exposures at work were due to inhalation. However, some workers were also exposed via skin contact or by eating food contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos can only be found in the natural environment due to natural weathering and degradation of contaminated products, such as ceiling and floor tiles as well as car brakes and clutches as well as insulation.
There is growing evidence that amphibole fibres from non-commercial sources could also be carcinogenic. These are fibers that do not have the tight interwoven fibrils that are found in the amphibole and asbestos serpentine minerals but instead are flexible, loose and needle-like. They can be found in the mountain sandstones, cliffs and sandstones of many countries.
Asbestos may enter the environment in a variety ways, such as in airborne particles. It is also able to leach into soil or water. This occurs both from natural (weathering and erosion of asbestos-bearing rocks) and human-caused (disintegration and removal of asbestos-containing wastes from landfill sites) sources. Asbestos contamination of surface and ground water is mostly a result of natural weathering. However, it has also been caused by anthropogenic activities like milling and mining demolition and dispersal of asbestos-containing material and the disposal of contaminated dumping ground in landfills (ATSDR 2001). Inhalation exposure to asbestos fibers is the primary cause of illness for people exposed to asbestos in the workplace.
Crocidolite
Inhalation exposure is the most common method of exposure to asbestos fibres. These fibres can infiltrate the lungs, causing serious health problems. Mesothelioma as well as asbestosis and other diseases are all caused by asbestos fibres. Exposure to asbestos fibers can occur in different ways, like contact with contaminated clothes or building materials. The dangers of exposure are higher when crocidolite, the blue form of asbestos is involved. Crocidolite is a smaller, more fragile fibers that are easier to breathe and can be lodged deeper into lung tissue. It has been linked to more mesothelioma-related cases than other types of asbestos.
The six main types are chrysotile as well as amosite. Chrysotile and amosite are among the most commonly used forms of asbestos and make up 95 percent of all asbestos used in commercial construction. The other four types of asbestos haven't been as widely used however they can be found in older buildings. They are less dangerous than chrysotile or amosite but can still be a risk when mixed with other minerals or when mined close to other mineral deposits, such as talc and asbestos vermiculite.
Numerous studies have revealed an connection between exposure to asbestos and stomach cancer. Several studies have found a link between asbestos exposure and stomach. The evidence isn't unanimous. Certain 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 those who work in mines and chrysotile mills.
IARC the International Agency for Research on Cancer, has classified all kinds of asbestos carcinogenic. All asbestos types can cause mesothelioma, but the risks vary depending on the amount of exposure is taken, what type of asbestos is involved and the length of time that exposure lasts. IARC has stated that the best option for individuals is to stay clear of all forms of asbestos. However, if people have been exposed to asbestos in the past and are suffering from a disease such as mesothelioma or any other respiratory illnesses, they should seek guidance from their physician or NHS 111.
Amphibole
Amphiboles comprise a variety of minerals that can form prism-like and needle-like crystals. They are a type of silicate mineral composed of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They usually have a monoclinic crystal structure however, some have an orthorhombic structure. The general formula of an amphibole is A0-1B2C5T8O22(OH,F)2. The double chains comprise (Si, Al)O4 tetrahedrons linked together in a series of six tetrahedrons. Tetrahedrons can be separated by strips of octahedral sites.
Amphiboles are found in metamorphic and igneous rock. They are typically dark-colored and tough. They can be difficult to differentiate from pyroxenes as they share similar hardness and color. They also share a similar cleavage pattern. However their chemistry permits a wide range of compositions. The different amphibole mineral groups are identified by their chemical compositions and crystal structures.
Amphibole asbestos comprises chrysotile and the five types of asbestos amosite, anthophyllite (crocidolite) amosite (actinolite), and amosite. Each variety of asbestos has distinct characteristics. The most harmful type of asbestos, crocidolite, is made up of sharp fibers that are easy to inhale into the lungs. Anthophyllite is brown to yellowish in color and is made up of iron and magnesium. It was previously used in products such as cement and insulation materials.
Amphibole minerals are hard to analyze because they have a an intricate chemical structure and many substitutions. Therefore, a detailed analysis of their composition requires special methods. The most widely used methods to identify amphiboles are EDS, WDS, and XRD. However, these methods can only provide approximate identifications. For instance, these techniques cannot differentiate between magnesio-hastingsite and magnesio-hornblende. These techniques also do not distinguish between ferro-hornblende and.
