The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos

Asbestos was a component in thousands of commercial products before it was banned. According to research, exposure to asbestos can cause cancer and a host of other health issues.

It is difficult to tell if something contains asbestos simply by looking at it and you cannot taste or smell it. Asbestos is only detected when the material containing it is broken, drilled, or chipped.

Chrysotile

At its peak, chrysotile made up 99% of the asbestos produced. It was widely used in industries, including construction insulation, fireproofing, and insulation. In the event that workers were exposed to this toxic material, they could develop mesothelioma as well as other asbestos related diseases. Since the 1960s, when mesothelioma began to become a problem, the use of asbestos has declined significantly. It is still present in many of the products we use today.

Chrysotile can be safely used with a well-thought-out safety and handling plan is put in place. Personnel handling chrysotile aren't at risk of being exposed to a high degree of risk based on the current limit of exposure. The inhalation of airborne particles has been found to be strongly linked with lung fibrosis and lung cancer. This has been proven to be true for both the intensity (dose) and duration of exposure.

One study that examined the operation of a factory that utilized almost exclusively chrysotile in the production of friction materials, compared mortality rates at this factory with national death rates. The study revealed that after 40 years of manufacturing low levels of chrysotile, there was no significant increase in mortality rates in this factory.

Chrysotile fibres tend to be shorter than other forms of asbestos. They are able to penetrate the lungs and enter the bloodstream. They are therefore more likely to cause health problems than longer fibres.

When chrysotile mixes with cement, it is extremely difficult for the fibres to air-borne and pose any health risks. The fibre cement products are used extensively throughout the world, especially in buildings like hospitals and schools.

Research has revealed that amphibole asbestos like amosite, crocidolite, or crocidolite, is less likely than chrysotile to cause diseases. These amphibole types have been the most common cause of mesothelioma as well as other asbestos-related diseases. When cement and chrysotile are mixed and cured, a tough and flexible material is created that is able to stand up to extreme weather conditions and environmental hazards. It is also easy to clean after use. Professionals can safely remove asbestos fibres once they have been removed.

Amosite

Asbestos is a category of silicate mineral fibrous that are found naturally in specific kinds of rock formations. It is comprised of six general groups: serpentine, amphibole anthophyllite, tremolite 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 are found in nature in bundles or as individual fibrils. Asbestos can also be found in powder form (talc), or mixed with other minerals to form talcum powder or vermiculite. These are widely used as consumer products, such as baby powder, cosmetics, and face powder.

Asbestos was extensively used in the first two thirds of the 20th century to construct construction of ships insulation, fireproofing, insulation and various other construction materials. The majority of asbestos-containing exposures to the workplace occurred in the air, however certain workers were also exposed to asbestos-bearing rock fragments and vermiculite that was contaminated. Exposures varied by industry, time period and geographical location.

Asbestos exposure in the workplace is mainly due to inhalation. However certain workers have been exposed via skin contact or eating food that is contaminated. Asbestos is found in the environment because of natural weathering and degrading of products that are contaminated, such as ceiling and floor tiles, car brakes and clutches, asbestos as well as insulation.

There is evidence to suggest that amphibole fibres from non-commercial sources could also be carcinogenic. These fibres are not tightly knit like the fibrils found in amphibole or serpentine, they are loose and flexible, and needle-like. These fibers can be found in the cliffs and mountains of several countries.

Asbestos is absorbed into the environment mostly as airborne particles, but it can also be absorbed into water and soil. This is caused by both natural (weathering of asbestos-bearing rocks) and anthropogenic sources (disintegration of asbestos-containing wastes and disposal in landfill sites). Asbestos contamination of ground and surface water is mostly due to natural weathering, but has also been caused by anthropogenic activities like mining and milling, demolition and dispersal of asbestos-containing materials and the disposal of contaminated dumping ground in landfills (ATSDR 2001). Exposure to asbestos-containing airborne fibres is the most common cause of illness in people exposed to it occupationally.

Crocidolite

Exposure to asbestos through inhalation is the most popular way people are exposed harmful fibres. They can then get into the lungs and cause serious health problems. Mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other illnesses are all caused by asbestos fibres. Exposure to asbestos fibres can occur in different ways too including contact with contaminated clothing or construction materials. This kind of exposure is particularly dangerous when crocidolite (the blue asbestos form) is involved. Crocidolite fibers are thinner and more fragile which makes them more difficult to breathe. They can also get deeper into lung tissue. It has been associated with a higher number of mesothelioma-related cancers than any other type of asbestos.

The six main types of asbestos are chrysotile amosite as well as epoxiemite. Tremolite is anthophyllite, and actinolite. Chrysotile and amosite are among the most commonly used types of asbestos and make up 95% of commercial asbestos currently used. The other four types haven't been as widely used however they can be found in older buildings. They are less dangerous than chrysotile and amosite, but they can pose a risk when combined with other asbestos minerals, or when mined close to other naturally occurring mineral deposits, such as talc or vermiculite.

Numerous studies have revealed an association between exposure to asbestos lawsuit and stomach cancer. The evidence is not conclusive. Some researchers have cited an overall SMR (standardized mortality ratio) of 1.5 (95 percent CI: 0.7-3.6) for all asbestos-related workers while other studies have reported an SMR of 1.24 (95 percent C.I. 0.76-2.5) for workers in chrysotile mines and mills.

IARC, the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified all kinds of asbestos as carcinogenic. All types of asbestos can cause mesothelioma as well as other health issues, however the risks are different based on how much exposure individuals are exposed to, the kind of asbestos involved as well as the length of their exposure and the method by which it is breathed in or ingested. IARC has declared that the best choice for individuals is to stay clear of all forms of asbestos. However, if people have been exposed to asbestos in the past and are suffering from a condition such as mesothelioma or other respiratory conditions and require advice, they should seek out guidance from their doctor or NHS 111.

Amphibole

Amphibole is a group of minerals that form long prisms or needlelike crystals. They are a type of inosilicate mineral composed of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They usually have a monoclinic structure in their crystals however some may 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 linked together in rings of six tetrahedrons. Tetrahedrons may be separated by octahedral strips.

Amphiboles are present in both igneous and metamorphic rock. They are usually dark-colored and hard. Because of their similar hardness and color, they can be difficult for some people to distinguish from Pyroxenes. They also have a similar cleavage. Their chemistry can allow for a range of compositions. The various mineral groups within amphibole are identified by their chemical compositions and crystal structures.

Amphibole asbestos comprises chrysotile and the five types of asbestos amosite, anthophyllite (crocidolite) amosite (actinolite), and amosite. Each type of asbestos has its own distinct properties. The most hazardous type of asbestos, crocidolite is composed of sharp fibers that are easy to breathe into the lung. Anthophyllite has a brownish to yellowish color and is made mostly of iron and magnesium. This kind of material was used to create cement and insulation materials.

Amphiboles are difficult to analyze due to their complex chemical structure and the numerous substitutions. A detailed analysis of the composition of amphibole minerals requires specialized methods. EDS, WDS and XRD are the most popular methods for identifying amphiboles. However, these methods can only give approximate identifications. For instance, these techniques cannot differentiate between magnesio-hastingsite and magnesio-hornblende. Furthermore, these techniques do not distinguish between ferro-hornblende and pargasite.
