The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos

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

It is not possible to tell by simply looking at something whether it's made of asbestos. You cannot smell or taste it. It is only found when asbestos-containing materials are drilled, chipped or broken.

Chrysotile

At its height, chrysotile comprised up 99% of the asbestos case produced. It was utilized in a variety of industries like construction insulation, fireproofing, and insulation. If workers are exposed to asbestos, they could develop mesothelioma or other asbestos-related illnesses. Thankfully, the use this dangerous mineral has decreased drastically since mesothelioma awareness started to spread in the 1960's. It is still present in a variety of products we use today.

Chrysotile is safe to use provided you have a comprehensive safety and handling program in place. It has been proven that, at the present controlled exposure levels, there isn't an danger to those working with the substance. Inhaling airborne fibres has been strongly associated with lung cancer and lung fibrosis. This has been confirmed for both the intensity (dose) and time span of exposure.

In one study mortality rates were compared between a factory which used almost exclusively Chrysotile for the production of friction materials and the national death rate. The study revealed that after 40 years of processing at low levels of chrysotile, there was no significant increase in mortality in this factory.

Chrysotile fibres tend to be shorter than other types of asbestos. They can penetrate the lungs, and enter the bloodstream. They are therefore more likely to cause health issues over longer fibres.

When chrysotile gets mixed with cement, it is very difficult for the fibres to be airborne and pose any health risk. Fibre cement products are used in various parts of the world including hospitals and schools.

Research has shown that chrysotile is less prone to cause disease than amphibole asbestos like crocidolite and amosite. Amphibole asbestos types have been the primary cause of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. When chrysotile mixes with cement, it forms a tough, flexible building product that can withstand harsh conditions in the weather and other environmental hazards. It is also very easy to clean after use. Professionals can safely eliminate asbestos fibres when they have been removed.

Amosite

Asbestos refers to a set of silicate mineral fibrous that are found naturally in specific types of rock formations. It consists of six general groups: amphibole, serpentine as well as tremolite, anthophyllite, and crocidolite (IARC 1973).

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

Asbestos was used extensively in the first two thirds of the 20th century for construction of ships insulation, fireproofing, insulation and other construction materials. Most occupational exposures were asbestos fibres in the air, however certain workers were exposed to contaminated vermiculite or talc as well as to fragments of asbestos-bearing rocks (ATSDR, 2001). Exposures varied by industry, time, and geographic location.

The exposure to asbestos at work is mostly due to inhalation. However, some workers have been exposed through skin contact or by eating food items contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos is only present in the the natural weathering of mined minerals and the deterioration of products contaminated with asbestos 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 are the fibres that are not the tightly weaved fibrils of amphibole and serpentine minerals, but instead are flexible, loose and needle-like. These fibres can be found in mountains, sandstones, and cliffs from a variety of nations.

Asbestos may enter the environment in a variety of ways, including in the form of airborne particles. It is also able to leach into water or soil. This occurs both from natural (weathering and erosion of asbestos-bearing rocks) and anthropogenic (disintegration and removal of asbestos-containing wastes from landfill sites) sources. Asbestos contamination of surface and ground waters is primarily caused through 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 fibers is the primary cause of illness among people who are exposed to asbestos on a daily basis.

Crocidolite

Inhalation exposure is the most commonly used method of exposure to asbestos fibres. These fibres can get into the lung which can cause serious health issues. Mesothelioma, asbestosis and other illnesses are caused by asbestos fibres. Exposure to asbestos fibres can also take place in other ways, such as contact with contaminated clothing or building materials. This kind of exposure is more dangerous 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 in lung tissue. It has been associated with more mesothelioma cases than other types of asbestos.

The six primary kinds are chrysotile and amosite. Chrysotile and amosite are the most commonly used forms of asbestos, and comprise 95% of the commercial asbestos that is used. The other four types haven't been as extensively used, but they may still be present in older buildings. They aren't as hazardous as amosite or chrysotile, but they can still be a risk when mixed with other minerals, or when mined near other naturally occurring mineral deposits such as talc and vermiculite.

Numerous studies have revealed an connection between exposure to asbestos and stomach cancer. The evidence isn't unanimous. Some researchers have reported an SMR (standardized death ratio) of 1.5 (95 percent confidence interval: 0.7-3.6), for all asbestos workers, and others have reported an SMR of 1,24 (95 percent confidence interval: 0.76-2.5), for those working in chrysotile mines or chrysotile mills.

IARC, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, has classified all kinds of asbestos as carcinogenic. All kinds of asbestos may cause mesothelioma and other health issues, although the risks vary according to the amount of exposure that people are exposed to, the kind of asbestos involved as well as the duration of exposure and the way in which it is inhaled or consumed. IARC has declared 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 suffer from a disease such as mesothelioma or any other respiratory illnesses, they should seek guidance from their physician or NHS 111.

Amphibole

Amphibole is a class of minerals that form long prism or needlelike crystals. They are an inosilicate mineral made up of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They usually have a monoclinic structure in their crystals but some also 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. The tetrahedrons can be separated from one another by strips of octahedral sites.

Amphibole minerals are prevalent in metamorphic and igneous rocks. They are usually dark and hard. They can be difficult to distinguish from pyroxenes because they have similar hardness and colors. They also share a corresponding pattern of cleavage. However their chemistry allows an array of compositions. The chemical compositions and crystal structures of the various mineral groups in amphibole can be used to identify them.

The five asbestos types in the amphibole family include amosite, anthophyllite as well as crocidolite and actinolite. Each kind of asbestos has distinct characteristics. Crocidolite is among the most dangerous asbestos kind. It has sharp fibers which are easily inhaled into the lung. Anthophyllite ranges from brown to yellowish in color and is made up of magnesium and iron. This variety was once used in products such as cement and insulation materials.

Amphibole minerals are challenging to analyze because they have a complex chemical structures and a variety of substitutions. Therefore, a detailed analysis of their composition requires specialized methods. EDS, WDS and XRD are the most popular methods for identifying amphiboles. However, these methods only provide approximate identifications. These techniques, for example cannot differentiate between magnesio-hornblende and hastingsite. In addition, these techniques can not distinguish between ferro-hornblende as well as pargasite.
