The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos
Asbestos was used in a variety of commercial products before it was banned. According research, exposure to asbestos can cause cancer and many other health issues.
You can't tell if something contains asbestos simply by looking at it and you won't be able to smell or taste it. Asbestos can only be identified when the material containing it is broken, drilled, or chipped.
Chrysotile
At its height, chrysotile comprised up 99% of the asbestos production. It was widely used in industries like construction, asbestos insulation, and fireproofing. Unfortunately, if workers were exposed for long periods to this toxic material, they could contract mesothelioma as well as other asbestos related diseases. Fortunately, the use of this harmful mineral has diminished significantly since mesothelioma awareness began to spread in the 1960's. It is still found in many products we use in the present.
Chrysotile is safe to use in the event that you have a complete safety and handling program in place. Personnel handling chrysotile aren't exposed to a significant amount of risk based on the current controlled exposure levels. The inhalation of airborne fibres has been strongly associated with lung cancer and lung fibrosis. This has been proven both for the intensity (dose) as and the duration of exposure.
One study that looked into a facility that used nearly exclusively chrysotile for manufacturing friction materials compared mortality rates in this facility with national mortality rates. The study concluded that, after 40 years of converting low levels of chrysotile, there was no significant increase in mortality rates in this factory.
Chrysotile fibers are generally shorter than other forms of asbestos. They can pass through the lungs and then enter the bloodstream. This makes them much more prone to causing health effects than fibres with longer lengths.
It is very difficult for chrysotile fibers to be inhaled or to pose a health risk when mixed with cement. The fibre cement products are extensively used throughout the world, especially in buildings like hospitals and schools.
Research has demonstrated that amphibole asbestos claim such as amosite or crocidolite is not as likely than chrysotile to cause disease. Amphibole asbestos types have been the most common source of mesothelioma, as well as other asbestos-related illnesses. When the cement and chrysotile are combined together, a strong, flexible product is created that is able to withstand extreme weather conditions and environmental hazards. It is also simple to clean after use. Professionals can safely remove asbestos fibres once they have been removed.
Amosite
Asbestos refers to a group of silicate fibrous minerals that are found naturally in specific kinds of rock formations. It is classified into six groups which include amphibole (serpentine) and tremolite (tremolite), anthophyllite (crocidolite) and anthophyllite.
Asbestos minerals are made up of thin, long fibers that vary in length from fine to wide. They can also be curled or straight. They are present in nature in the form of individual fibrils or bundles with splaying ends called fibril matrix. Asbestos can also be found in a powder form (talc) or mixed with other minerals in order to create vermiculite or talcum powder. They are used extensively as consumer goods, such as baby powder cosmetics, and even face powder.
Asbestos was heavily used in the early two-thirds of the 20th century to construct construction of ships as well as insulation, fireproofing and other construction materials. Most occupational exposures were to asbestos fibres in the air, however certain workers were exposed to vermiculite and talc that had been contaminated and also to fragments of asbestos-bearing rock (ATSDR, 2001). Exposures varied by industry, time and geographical location.
Exposure to asbestos at work is mostly caused by inhalation. However there have been instances of workers being exposed through skin contact or through eating foods contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos is currently only found in the air due to natural weathering of mined ores and deterioration of contaminated products such as insulation, car brakes and clutches, and floor and ceiling tiles.
It is becoming clear that amphibole fibers that are not commercially available could also be carcinogenic. These fibres are not tightly weaved like the fibrils in amphibole or serpentine, they are loose and flexible, and needle-like. These fibres can be found in the cliffs, mountains and sandstones of a variety of countries.
Asbestos can be found in the environment as airborne particles, but it can also be absorbed into water and soil. This happens both through natural (weathering and erosion of asbestos-bearing rocks) and the anthropogenic (disintegration and disposal of asbestos-containing wastes at landfill sites) sources. Asbestos contamination of surface and ground water is largely associated with natural weathering. However, it has also been caused by human activities such as mining and milling, demolition and dispersal of asbestos-containing materials as well as the disposal of contaminated soils for disposal in landfills (ATSDR 2001). Airborne asbestos fibres are the primary cause of illness in people exposed to asbestos during their occupation.
Crocidolite
Inhalation exposure is the most popular method of exposure to asbestos fibres. These fibres can get into the lung which can cause serious health issues. These include asbestosis and mesothelioma. The exposure to asbestos fibres could be experienced in other ways, like contact with contaminated clothing or building materials. This kind of exposure is particularly dangerous when crocidolite (the blue form of asbestos) is involved. Crocidolite fibers are less dense and more fragile and therefore easier to inhale. They also can get deeper in lung tissue. It has been linked to a greater number of mesothelioma-related cases than any other form of asbestos.
The six primary types are chrysotile as well as amosite. Amosite and chrysotile are the most commonly used types of asbestos and make up 95% of asbestos used in commercial construction. The other four types haven't been as widely used but they can be found in older buildings. They are less hazardous than chrysotile and amosite, but they can pose a risk when combined with other asbestos minerals or mined in close proximity to other naturally occurring mineral deposits, like talc or vermiculite.
A number of studies have demonstrated an association between asbestos exposure and stomach cancer. The evidence is not conclusive. Some researchers have reported an SMR (standardized mortality ratio) of 1.5 (95% range of CI: 0.7-3.6) for all workers exposed to asbestos while other studies have reported an SMR of 1.24 (95 percent of the CI = 0.76-2.5) for those working in chrysotile mines and mills.
IARC the International Agency for Research on Cancer, has classified all forms of asbestos as carcinogenic. All forms of asbestos could cause mesothelioma as well as other health issues, but the risks differ based on the amount of exposure people are exposed to, the type of asbestos involved as well as the length of their exposure, and the manner in which it is inhaled or ingested. The IARC has advised that abstaining from all asbestos forms is the most important thing to do, as this is the most safe option for those who are exposed. If you've been exposed to asbestos and suffer from a respiratory illness or mesothelioma condition, then you should seek advice from your physician or NHS111.
Amphibole
Amphiboles are a collection of minerals that may create prism-like or needle-like crystals. They are a type of inosilicate minerals made of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They are a monoclinic system of crystals, however some have an orthorhombic shape. 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 can be separated by strips of octahedral sites.
Amphiboles can be found in both igneous and metamorphic rock. They are usually dark-colored and are hard. They are sometimes difficult to distinguish from pyroxenes since they share similar hardness and color. They also share a corresponding pattern of cleavage. However their chemistry allows an array of compositions. The different amphibole mineral groups are identified by their chemical compositions as well as crystal structures.
The five types of asbestos that belong to the amphibole group include amosite, anthophyllite, crocidolite, and actinolite. Each type of asbestos comes with its own distinct properties. Crocidolite is among the most dangerous asbestos type. It contains sharp fibers that can easily be breathed into the lung. Anthophyllite is brown to yellowish in color and is composed of iron and magnesium. This type was used to make cement and insulation materials.
Amphiboles can be difficult to study because of their complex chemical structure and the numerous substitutions. An in-depth analysis of the composition of amphibole minerals is a complex process that requires specialized techniques. EDS, WDS and XRD are the most widely used methods for identifying amphiboles. These methods can only provide approximate identifications. These techniques, for example can't distinguish between magnesio hornblende and magnesio hastingsite. These techniques also do not differentiate between ferro-hornblende or pargasite.
