The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos

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

It is difficult to tell if something includes asbestos by looking at it and you cannot smell or taste it. Asbestos is only detectable when the materials that contain it are broken, drilled, or chipped.

Chrysotile

At its peak, chrysotile accounted for the majority of the asbestos production. It was employed in a variety of industries including construction, insulation, and fireproofing. If workers are exposed to asbestos, they could develop mesothelioma along with other asbestos-related diseases. Thankfully, the use this toxic mineral has decreased significantly since mesothelioma awareness began to spread in the 1960's. It is still present in a variety of products we use today.

Chrysotile can be used safely when a thorough safety and handling plan is in place. It has been proven that at the current controlled exposure levels, there isn't an danger to the people handling it. Inhaling airborne fibers has been strongly associated with lung cancer and lung fibrosis. This has been proven in terms of intensity (dose) as and the duration of exposure.

One study that looked into the operation of a factory that utilized almost all chrysotile as its friction materials, compared the mortality rates of this factory with national death rates. It was found that, for the 40 years of processing asbestos chrysotile at low levels of exposure there was no significant extra mortality in the factory.

Contrary to other types of asbestos, chrysotile fibres tend to be smaller. They can enter the lungs and then enter the bloodstream. This makes them more likely to cause health consequences than longer fibres.

When chrysotile mixes with cement, it's extremely difficult for the fibres to breathe and pose any health risks. Fibre cement products are extensively used in various parts of the world, including schools and hospitals.

Studies have shown that chrysotile is less prone to cause disease than amphibole asbestos such as crocidolite and amosite. Amphibole asbestos forms have been the primary cause of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. When chrysotile mixes with cement, it creates a strong, flexible building product that is able to withstand severe conditions in the weather and other environmental hazards. It is also very easy to clean after use. Professionals can safely dispose of asbestos fibres after they have been removed.

Amosite

Asbestos refers to a set of silicate mineral fibrous that occur naturally in certain types of rock formations. It is comprised of six general groups: serpentine, amphibole anthophyllite, tremolite and crocidolite (IARC, 1973).

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

The heaviest asbestos use occurred during the early two-thirds of the 20th century where 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 toxic talc or vermiculite as well as to fragments of asbestos-bearing rock (ATSDR, 2001). Exposures varied from industry to industry, from era to and also from geographical location.

The majority of asbestos exposures that workers were exposed to was due to inhalation, but certain workers were exposed through contact with skin or through eating contaminated food. Asbestos is found in the environment because of natural weathering and degradation of contaminated products, such as ceiling and floor tiles, car brakes and clutches as well as insulation.

There is emerging evidence that non-commercial amphibole fibres may also be carcinogenic. These are fibres do not form the tightly weaved fibrils of amphibole and serpentine minerals, but instead are loose, flexible and needle-like. These fibres can be found in mountain sandstones, cliffs and sandstones from a variety of nations.

Asbestos gets into the environment primarily as airborne particles, but it also leaches into water and soil. This is a result of both natural (weathering and erosion of asbestos-bearing rocks) and anthropogenic (disintegration and disposal of asbestos-containing materials in landfill sites) sources. Asbestos contamination of surface and ground waters is primarily caused through 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). Asbestos fibres that are emitted from the air are the main reason for illness among those exposed to it in their occupation.

Crocidolite

Inhalation exposure is the most popular method of exposure to asbestos fibres. These fibres can infiltrate the lung and cause serious health problems. These include asbestosis and mesothelioma. Exposure to the fibres can occur in different ways, such as contact with contaminated clothing or building materials. The risks of exposure are heightened when crocidolite (the blue form of asbestos, is involved. Crocidolite fibers are softer and less brittle making them more palatable to inhale. They can also get deeper within lung tissues. It has been linked to more mesothelioma cases than other asbestos types.

The six major types of asbestos are chrysotile, amosite as well as epoxiemite. Tremolite is anthophyllite, and actinolite. The most commonly used asbestos types are epoxiemite and chrysotile which together comprise 95% all commercial asbestos lawyer used. The other four asbestos types are not as common, but may still be found in older structures. They are not as dangerous as amosite or chrysotile however they could still be a danger when mixed with other minerals, or when mined near other naturally occurring mineral deposits like talc and vermiculite.

Numerous studies have shown the connection between stomach cancer and asbestos exposure. However, the evidence is contradictory. Certain researchers have cited an SMR (standardized death ratio) of 1.5 (95% confidence interval: 0.7-3.6), for all asbestos workers, whereas others have reported an SMR of 1,24 (95% 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 forms of asbestos as carcinogenic. All asbestos types can cause mesothelioma, but the risks vary depending on how much exposure, what kind of asbestos is involved, and how long exposure lasts. The IARC has recommended that avoiding all forms of asbestos is the best option because this is the most secure option for those who are exposed. However, if someone has been exposed to asbestos in the past and are suffering from an illness, such as mesothelioma or other respiratory illnesses and require advice, they should seek out guidance from their GP or NHS 111.

Amphibole

Amphiboles are groups of minerals which can form prism-like and needle-like crystals. They are an inosilicate mineral made up of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They typically have a monoclinic crystal structure 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. The tetrahedrons can be separated from one another by octahedral sites in strips.

Amphiboles are found in both igneous and metamorphic rock. They are typically dark-colored and tough. Due to their similarity in strength and color, they can be difficult for some people to distinguish from Pyroxenes. They also share a corresponding the cleavage pattern. Their chemistry allows a wide variety of compositions. The chemical compositions and crystal structures of the different minerals in amphibole can be used to identify them.

The five types of asbestos belonging to the amphibole family are amosite, anthophyllite, crocidolite, and actinolite. The most widely used form of asbestos is chrysotile; each is unique in its own way. Crocidolite is considered to be the most hazardous asbestos kind. It is composed of sharp fibers that can be easily breathed into the lung. Anthophyllite is brown to yellowish in color and is made up of magnesium and iron. This type of stone was once used in cement-based products and insulation materials.

Amphiboles are difficult to analyze due to their complicated chemical structure and numerous substitutions. Therefore, a thorough analysis of their composition requires specialized methods. The most popular methods for identifying amphiboles is EDS, WDS, and XRD. However, these methods can only give approximate identifications. For instance, these techniques cannot distinguish between magnesiohastingsite and magnesio-hornblende. These techniques also do not distinguish between ferro-hornblende as well as pargasite.
