The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos
Before it was banned, asbestos was used in a myriad of commercial products. According research, exposure to asbestos can cause cancer and many other health issues.
It is impossible to tell just by looking at something if it contains asbestos. You cannot taste or smell it. Asbestos can only be detected when the materials that contain it are broken, drilled, or chipped.
Chrysotile
At its peak, chrysotile made the majority of the asbestos production. It was widely used in industries such as construction insulation, fireproofing, as well as insulation. Unfortunately, if workers were exposed to this toxic substance, they could develop mesothelioma or other asbestos related diseases. Fortunately, the use of this harmful mineral has diminished drastically since mesothelioma awareness started to increase in the 1960's. It is still found in many products we use today.
Chrysotile is safe to use in the event that you have a complete safety and handling plan in place. It has been determined that at the current controlled exposure levels, there is no danger to those working with it. Lung cancer, lung fibrosis and mesothelioma are all associated with breathing in airborne respirable fibres. This has been proven both for the intensity (dose) as well as duration of exposure.
One study that looked into an industrial facility that used almost exclusively chrysotile to manufacture friction materials, compared mortality rates at this factory with national death rates. It was discovered that, for 40 years of preparing asbestos chrysotile at low levels of exposure there was no significant additional mortality in this factory.
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 more likely to cause health problems than fibres with longer lengths.
It is very difficult for chrysotile fibres be airborne or pose any health risk when mixed with cement. Fibre cement products are extensively used all over the world particularly in structures such as schools and hospitals.
Research has demonstrated that amphibole asbestos, such as amosite or crocidolite is not as likely than chrysotile in causing disease. These amphibole varieties are the primary source of mesothelioma as well as other asbestos-related diseases. When chrysotile and cement are mixed with cement, a tough and flexible product is created that is able to stand up to extreme weather conditions and environmental hazards. It is also easy to clean up after use. Professionals can safely get rid of asbestos settlement fibres after they have been removed.
Amosite
Asbestos is a category of silicate fibrous minerals that naturally occur in certain kinds of rock formations. It is classified into six groups: amphibole (serpentine), tremolite (tremolite), anthophyllite (crocidolite) and anthophyllite.
Asbestos minerals are made up of long, thin fibers that vary in length from fine to wide. They can be curled or straight. These fibres can be found in nature in bundles or individual fibrils. Asbestos minerals can also be found as a powder (talc) or mixed with other minerals and sold as vermiculite and talcum powder that are widely used in consumer products like baby powder cosmetics, face powder and other.
The greatest use of asbestos occurred in the first two-thirds of twentieth century, when it was used in shipbuilding, insulation, fireproofing, and other construction materials. The majority of occupational exposures were asbestos fibres in the air, however some workers were exposed to toxic talc or vermiculite and to pieces of asbestos-bearing rocks (ATSDR 2001). Exposures varied from industry industry, era era and geographic location.
Asbestos exposure in the workplace is mainly due to inhalation. However certain workers have been exposed by contact with their skin or through eating foods contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos can be found in the natural environment due to natural weathering and degradation of contaminated products, such as ceiling and floor tiles automobile brakes and clutches, Asbestos settlement and insulation.
There is evidence emerging that non-commercial amphibole fibres may also be carcinogenic. These are fibers that do not have the tight interwoven fibrils that are found in the amphibole and serpentine minerals but instead are flexible, loose and needle-like. These fibers are found in the cliffs and mountains of several countries.
Asbestos may enter the environment in a variety of ways, including as airborne particles. It can also leach out into soil or water. This is a result of both natural (weathering and erosion of asbestos-bearing rocks) and anthropogenic (disintegration and removal of asbestos-containing wastes from landfill sites) sources. asbestos Settlement contamination in surface and ground waters is primarily due to natural weathering. However it can also be caused by humans, such as through the mining and milling of asbestos-containing materials, demolition and dispersal, and the disposal of contaminated dumping materials in landfills (ATSDR 2001). The inhalation of asbestos fibres is still the primary reason for illness among those who are exposed to asbestos on a daily basis.
Crocidolite
Inhalation exposure is the most popular method of exposure to asbestos fibres. The fibres can penetrate the lung and cause serious health issues. These include mesothelioma and asbestosis. Exposure to fibers can occur in a variety of ways, for example, contact with contaminated clothing or materials. The risks of exposure are heightened when crocidolite, the asbestos' blue form, is involved. Crocidolite fibers are less dense and more fragile and therefore easier to inhale. They also can get deeper within lung tissues. It has been associated with more mesothelioma cases than other types of asbestos.
The six major types of asbestos are chrysotile amosite, epoxiemite, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite. The most common asbestos types are chrysotile and epoxiemite, which together make up 95% all commercial asbestos used. The other four asbestos types are not as widespread, but they can still be found in older structures. They are less dangerous than amosite and chrysotile. However, they could pose a threat when mixed with other asbestos minerals or when mined in close proximity to other mineral deposits, like vermiculite or talc.
Many studies have discovered an connection between exposure to asbestos and stomach cancer. However there is no conclusive evidence. Some researchers have cited a SMR (standardized death ratio) of 1.5 (95 percent confidence interval: 0.7-3.6), for all asbestos workers. However, others have reported an SMR of 1,24 (95% confidence interval: 0.76-2.5), for workers in chrysotile mills and mines.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified all asbestos types as carcinogenic. All asbestos types can cause mesothelioma, however, the risk is dependent on how much 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 people is to stay clear of all types of asbestos. If someone has been exposed to asbestos in the past and are suffering from a condition such as mesothelioma or other respiratory diseases They should seek advice from their GP or NHS 111.
Amphibole
Amphiboles comprise a variety of minerals that may create prism-like or needle-like crystals. They are a type of inosilicate mineral composed of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They typically have a monoclinic crystal system however, some 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, which are connected in rings of six. Tetrahedrons are distinguished from each other with octahedral strips.
Amphiboles are found in both igneous and metamorphic rock. They are typically dark and hard. They can be difficult to differentiate from pyroxenes due to their similar hardness and colors. They also share a corresponding pattern of cleavage. Their chemistry can allow for a range of compositions. The chemical compositions and crystal structure of the different mineral groups found in amphibole may be used to determine their composition.
The five types of asbestos belonging to the amphibole family are amosite, anthophyllite as well as crocidolite and actinolite. While the most popular form of asbestos is chrysotile. Each variety has its own distinct characteristics. The most hazardous type of asbestos, crocidolite, is made up of sharp fibers that are easy to breathe into the lung. Anthophyllite can range from yellow to brown in color and is composed of magnesium and iron. It was previously used in cement-based products and insulation materials.
Amphibole minerals are hard to study because of their complex chemical structures and a variety of substitutions. Therefore, a thorough analysis of their composition requires specialized methods. EDS, WDS and XRD are the most common methods of identifying amphiboles. However, these methods can only provide approximate identifications. For instance, these methods cannot distinguish between magnesiohastingsite and magnesio-hornblende. In addition, these techniques can not distinguish between ferro-hornblende and pargasite.
