The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos
Asbestos was used in thousands of commercial products before it was banned. According to studies, exposure to asbestos can cause cancer as well as other health issues.
You cannot tell if something includes asbestos by looking at it, and you can't taste or smell it. It is only visible when the asbestos-containing materials are chipped, drilled or broken.
Chrysotile
At its height, chrysotile was responsible for 99percent of the asbestos made. It was used in many industries like construction insulation, fireproofing, and insulation. Unfortunately, if workers were exposed for long periods to this toxic substance, they could develop mesothelioma or other asbestos related diseases. Fortunately, the use this hazardous mineral has declined significantly since awareness of mesothelioma began to spread in the 1960's. However, trace amounts are still present in the products we use in the present.
Chrysotile can be safely used when a thorough safety and handling plan is in place. Workers handling chrysotile are not exposed to an unreasonable amount of risk at the present controlled exposure levels. Lung fibrosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma have been strongly linked to breathing in airborne respirable fibres. This has been proven for intensity (dose) as in the time of exposure.
One study that studied a factory that used almost exclusively chrysotile to manufacture friction materials compared mortality rates in this facility with national mortality rates. The study found that, after 40 years of processing low levels of chrysotile there was no significant increase in mortality in this factory.
Chrysotile fibres tend to be shorter than other forms of asbestos. They are able to penetrate the lungs, and then pass through the bloodstream. This makes them more prone to cause negative effects than fibres with longer lengths.
When chrysotile is mixed into cement, it is very difficult for the fibres to air-borne and cause health hazards. Fibre cement products are used in various parts of the world, including schools and hospitals.
Research has demonstrated that amphibole asbestos, such as amosite or crocidolite is less likely than chrysotile in causing disease. These amphibole types are the main source of mesothelioma as well as other asbestos-related diseases. When cement and chrysotile are mixed together, a strong and flexible product is created that is able to stand up to extreme weather conditions and environmental hazards. It is also simple to clean after use. Professionals can safely dispose of asbestos fibres after they have been removed.
Amosite
Asbestos refers to a group of silicate minerals with fibrous structure which are found naturally in a variety of types of rock formations. It consists of six general groups: amphibole, serpentine as well as tremolite, anthophyllite, and crocidolite (IARC, 1973).
Asbestos minerals are composed of thin, long fibres that range in length, ranging from very fine to broad and straight to curled. They are found in nature in bundles or individual fibrils. Asbestos is also found in a powder form (talc) or mixed with other minerals in order to create talcum powder or vermiculite. They are extensively used in consumer products, such as baby powder, cosmetics, and face powder.
The largest use of asbestos was 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 airborne asbestos fibres, but some workers were exposed to vermiculite or talc that was contaminated and also to fragments of asbestos-bearing rocks (ATSDR, 2001). Exposures varied from industry industry, era to era and geographic location.
The exposure to asbestos in the workplace is mostly caused by inhalation. However there have been instances of workers being exposed via skin contact or through eating foods contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos can be found in the environment from natural weathering of mined ores and deterioration of contaminated products such as insulation, car brakes, clutches, as well as floor and ceiling tiles.
There is emerging evidence that amphibole fibers that are not commercially available could also be carcinogenic. These are fibres that don't form the tightly knit fibrils of the amphibole and serpentine minerals, but instead are flexible, loose and needle-like. They can be found in mountain sandstones, cliffs and sandstones of many countries.
Asbestos can be absorbed into the environment in many ways, including as airborne particles. It can also be released into soil or water. This can be due to both natural (weathering of asbestos-bearing rock) as well as anthropogenic sources (disintegration of asbestos-containing wastes and disposal in landfill sites). Asbestos contamination in surface and ground waters is primarily due to natural weathering. However it is also caused by human activity, for instance by the milling and mining of asbestos attorney-containing materials demolition and dispersal and the disposal of contaminated waste in landfills (ATSDR 2001). Asbestos fibres that are emitted from the air are the most significant cause of illness in people exposed to asbestos during their work.
Crocidolite
Inhalation exposure to asbestos is the most frequent way people are exposed to dangerous fibres, which can then enter the lungs and cause serious health problems. Mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other illnesses are all caused by asbestos fibres. Exposure to asbestos fibres can also take place in other ways, such as contact with contaminated clothes or building materials. The dangers of exposure are heightened when crocidolite which is the blue form of asbestos is involved. Crocidolite fibers are softer and less brittle which makes them more difficult to breathe. They can also be lodged deeper into lung tissues. It has been associated with a higher number of mesothelioma-related cases than any other form of asbestos.
The six major types of asbestos are chrysotile amosite, epoxiemite, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite. The most commonly used forms of asbestos are epoxiemite and chrysotile, which together comprise the majority of commercial asbestos used. The other four types haven't been as widely utilized however they can be found in older buildings. They are not as dangerous as 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 vermiculite.
Numerous studies have revealed an association between exposure to asbestos and stomach cancer. A number of studies have confirmed that asbestos exposure is linked to stomach. The evidence is not conclusive. Some researchers have cited an overall SMR (standardized mortality ratio) of 1.5 (95% range of CI: 0.7-3.6) for all workers exposed to asbestos and others have reported an SMR of 1.24 (95 percent 95% CI: 0.76-2.5) for those working in chrysotile mines and mills.
IARC The IARC, also known as the International Agency for Research on Cancer, has classified all kinds of asbestos carcinogenic. All forms of asbestos could cause mesothelioma as well as other health issues, although the risks are different based on the amount of exposure that individuals are exposed to, the kind of asbestos used, the duration of their exposure and the method by the way it is inhaled or ingested. The IARC has recommended that the prevention of all asbestos types is the most important thing to do, as this is the most secure option for those who are exposed. If you've been exposed in the past to asbestos and are suffering from a respiratory condition or mesothelioma condition, then you should consult your GP or NHS111.
Amphibole
Amphibole is one of the minerals that form long prisms or needle-like crystals. They are a type of inosilicate mineral made up of double chains of molecules of SiO4. They usually have a monoclinic crystal system however some may have an orthorhombic structure. The general formula of an amphibole is A0-1B2C5T8O22(OH,F)2. The double chains contain (Si, Al)O4 tetrahedrons linked together by tetrahedron rings made of six. The tetrahedrons can be separated from one another by octahedral sites in strips.
Amphibole minerals are prevalent in igneous and metamorphic rocks. They are typically dark-colored and hard. They are sometimes difficult to differentiate from pyroxenes because they have similar hardness and color. They also share a similar pattern of cleavage. Their chemistry permits a wide range of compositions. The various mineral groups in amphibole can be identified by their chemical compositions and crystal structures.
The five asbestos types that belong to the amphibole group include chrysotile, anthophyllite, amosite, crocidolite, and actinolite. While the most frequently used form of asbestos is chrysotile, each variety is unique in its own way. The most dangerous form of asbestos, crocidolite is composed of sharp fibers that are easy to breathe into the lung. Anthophyllite is brown to yellowish in color and is made up of iron and magnesium. It was previously used in products like cement and insulation materials.
Amphibole minerals are hard to study because of their a complicated chemical structure and many substitutions. Therefore, a detailed analysis of their composition requires specialized techniques. EDS, WDS and XRD are the most commonly used methods for identifying amphiboles. However, these methods can only provide approximate identifications. For instance, these methods cannot differentiate between magnesio-hastingsite and magnesio-hornblende. These techniques also cannot distinguish between ferro-hornblende as well as pargasite.
