The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos

Asbestos was used in a variety of commercial products prior to when it was banned. Research has shown that exposure to asbestos can cause cancer and other health problems.

It is impossible to determine if a product has asbestos just simply by looking at it and you won't be able to taste or smell it. It is only visible when asbestos-containing materials are drilled, chipped or broken.

Chrysotile

At its height, chrysotile provided for 95% of the asbestos produced. It was widely used in industries, including construction insulation, fireproofing, and insulation. If workers are exposed to asbestos, they could develop mesothelioma along with other asbestos-related illnesses. Fortunately, the use of this hazardous mineral has declined significantly since mesothelioma awareness began to spread in the 1960's. However, traces of it remain in many of the products we use in the present.

Chrysotile can be used in a safe manner in the event that a thorough safety and handling plan is put in place. Chrysotile handling workers aren't exposed to an unreasonable amount of risk at current limit of exposure. Inhaling airborne fibers has been strongly associated with lung cancer and lung fibrosis. This has been proven for both the intensity (dose) and time span of exposure.

A study that looked at a factory that used almost exclusively chrysotile for manufacturing friction materials, compared mortality rates in this facility with national mortality rates. The study found that, after 40 years of processing at low levels of chrysotile there was no significant increase in mortality at this factory.

Contrary to other types of asbestos, chrysotile fibres tend to be smaller. They can penetrate the lungs and pass into the bloodstream. They are therefore more likely to cause health problems than fibres that are longer.

When chrysotile gets mixed with cement, it is very difficult for the fibres to become airborne and pose any health risk. Fibre cement products have been extensively used all over the world particularly in buildings such as schools and hospitals.

Research has revealed that chrysotile is less prone to cause illness than amphibole asbestos such as crocidolite and amosite. Amphibole asbestos forms have been the primary cause of mesothelioma and various asbestos-related diseases. When chrysotile and cement are mixed together, a strong and flexible material is created which is able to withstand the most extreme weather conditions and environmental hazards. It is also easy to clean after use. Professionals can safely get rid of asbestos fibres after they have been removed.

Amosite

Asbestos is a category of silicate minerals with fibrous structure that occur naturally in certain types of rock formations. It is divided into six groups including amphibole (serpentine), Tremolite (tremolite) anthophyllite (crocidolite) and anthophyllite.

Asbestos minerals consist of thin, long fibers that vary in length from fine to broad. They can also be straight or curled. These fibres can be found in nature as bundles or individual fibrils. Asbestos is also found in powder form (talc) or mixed with other minerals in order to create talcum powder or vermiculite. These are widely used as consumer goods, such as baby powder, cosmetics and face powder.

Asbestos was widely used during the first two thirds of the 20th century for construction of ships insulation, fireproofing and other construction materials. The majority of occupational exposures to asbestos fibres were in the air, but certain workers were also exposed to asbestos-bearing rocks and contaminated vermiculite. Exposures varied by the industry, time frame, and geographic location.

Most of the asbestos-related exposures in the workplace were caused by inhalation, however some workers were also exposed by skin contact or through eating contaminated food. Asbestos can be found in the environment from the natural weathering of mined minerals and the deterioration of products contaminated with asbestos such as insulation, car brakes and clutches, as well as floor and ceiling tiles.

There is evidence to suggest that amphibole fibres from non-commercial sources could also be carcinogenic. These are fibres are not the tightly woven fibrils of the serpentine and amphibole minerals, but instead are flexible, loose and needle-like. These fibres are found in the cliffs and mountains from a variety of countries.

asbestos case can be found in the environment in the form of airborne particles, however it can also be absorbed into water and soil. This happens both through natural (weathering and erosion of asbestos-bearing rocks) and ananthropogenic (disintegration and disposal of asbestos-containing wastes at landfill sites) sources. Asbestos contamination in surface and ground waters is primarily due to natural weathering. However it is also caused by anthropogeny, such as by the milling and mining of asbestos-containing materials demolition and dispersal and the disposal of contaminated dumping material in landfills (ATSDR 2001). Inhalation exposure to airborne asbestos fibres is still the primary reason for illness among those exposed to asbestos at work.

Crocidolite

Inhalation exposure is the most frequent method of exposure to asbestos fibres. These fibres can enter the lung which can cause serious health issues. Mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other diseases are caused by asbestos fibres. Exposure to fibres can occur in other ways, too, such as contact with contaminated clothing or construction materials. The dangers of exposure are higher when crocidolite (the asbestos in the blue form is involved. Crocidolite is a smaller, more fragile fibers that are more easy to inhale and can lodge deeper into lung tissue. It has been linked to a larger number of mesothelioma related cases than any other type of asbestos.

The six major types of asbestos are chrysotile amosite, epoxiemite, tremolite anthophyllite and actinolite. Amosite and chrysotile are the most commonly used types of asbestos and account for 95 percent of all commercial asbestos that is used. The other four asbestos types are not as common, but may still be present in older structures. They aren't as hazardous as amosite or chrysotile, but they can still pose a threat when combined with other minerals or when mined near other naturally occurring mineral deposits, such as talc and vermiculite.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that there is a link between stomach cancer and asbestos exposure. The evidence isn't conclusive. Some researchers have cited an SMR (standardized death ratio) of 1.5 (95% confidence interval: 0.7-3.6), for all asbestos workers, while others report an SMR of 1,24 (95 percent confidence interval: 0.76-2.5), for workers in chrysotile mills and mines.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified all forms of asbestos as carcinogenic. All kinds of asbestos may cause mesothelioma and other health issues, however the risks differ based on the amount of exposure people are exposed to, the kind of asbestos used, the duration of their exposure and the manner in which it is inhaled or consumed. IARC has declared that the best choice for individuals is to avoid all types of asbestos. However, if someone has been exposed to asbestos in the past and suffer from a condition such as mesothelioma, or other respiratory diseases, they should seek guidance from their physician or NHS 111.

Amphibole

Amphiboles are groups of minerals that may form needle-like or prism-like crystals. They are a type of inosilicate mineral composed of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They have a monoclinic structure of crystals, but 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 that are linked in rings of six. Tetrahedrons may be separated by strips of octahedral site.

Amphiboles are present in metamorphic and igneous rock. They are typically dark-colored and hard. Due to their similarity in strength and color, they can be difficult for some to distinguish from Pyroxenes. They also share a corresponding pattern of cleavage. However their chemistry allows many different compositions. The chemical compositions and crystal structures of the various mineral groups found in amphibole may be used to identify them.

Amphibole asbestos consists of chrysotile, and the five types of asbestos amosite, anthophyllite (crocidolite) amosite (actinolite) and asbestos amosite. Each kind of asbestos has its own unique properties. Crocidolite is the most dangerous asbestos kind. It has sharp fibers that can easily be breathed into the lung. Anthophyllite is brown to yellowish in color and is composed of iron and magnesium. The variety was used previously in cement and insulation materials.

Amphibole minerals are difficult to analyze because they have complex chemical structures and many substitutions. An in-depth analysis of the composition of amphibole minerals requires specialized methods. The most popular methods for identifying amphiboles are EDS, WDS, and XRD. These methods can only provide approximate identifications. For instance, these methods can't distinguish between magnesio hastingsite and magnesio-hornblende. Additionally, these techniques do not distinguish between ferro hornblende and pargasite.
