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 and a host of other health issues.
It is impossible to tell just by looking at something whether it is made up of asbestos. Also, you cannot taste or smell it. Asbestos can only be identified when the materials that contain it are broken, drilled, or chipped.
Chrysotile
At its peak, chrysotile accounted for the majority of asbestos production. It was employed in a variety of industries including construction insulation, fireproofing, and insulation. If workers are exposed to asbestos, they could develop mesothelioma or other auburn asbestos lawsuit-related illnesses. Since the 1960s, when mesothelioma first became an issue asbestos use has been reduced significantly. It is still found in many of the products we use in the present.
Chrysotile is safe to use when you have a thorough safety and handling program in place. It has been determined that, at the present controlled exposure levels, there isn't an undue risk to the workers working with it. Lung cancer, lung fibrosis and mesothelioma have all been found to be strongly linked to breathing in airborne respirable fibres. This has been proven for the intensity (dose) as in the time of exposure.
In one study, mortality rates were compared between a factory that primarily used Chrysotile for the production of friction materials and national death rates. It was found that over the course of 40 years, processing chrysotile asbestos at low levels of exposure there was no significant extra mortality in the factory.
Unlike some other forms of asbestos, chrysotile fibers tend to be shorter. They are able to penetrate the lungs, and then pass through the bloodstream. This makes them more prone to causing health consequences than longer fibres.
It is very difficult for chrysotile fibres be airborne or pose any health risk when mixed with cement. Fibre cement products are extensively used throughout the world particularly in buildings such as schools and hospitals.
Research has proven that chrysotile has a lower chance to cause illness than amphibole asbestos such as amosite and crocidolite. These amphibole varieties are the primary source of mesothelioma as well as other asbestos-related diseases. When chrysotile and cement are mixed with cement, a tough and flexible product is created that is able to stand up to extreme environmental hazards and weather conditions. It is also easy to clean after use. Asbestos fibres can be easily removed by a professional and then safely removed.
Amosite
Asbestos refers to a set of silicate fibrous minerals that naturally occur in certain types of rock formations. It is composed of six general groups: serpentine, amphibole anthophyllite, Vimeo tremolite and crocidolite (IARC 1973).
Asbestos minerals consist of thin, long fibers that range in length from fine to wide. They can also be curled or straight. These fibers are found in nature in bundles or as individual fibrils. Asbestos minerals can be found in the form of a powder (talc) or mixed with other minerals and Vimeo sold as talcum powder and vermiculite and are used in consumer products such as baby powder cosmetics, face powder, and baby powder.
Asbestos was used extensively in the first two thirds of the 20th century for shipbuilding insulation, fireproofing and various other construction materials. Most occupational exposures were to airborne asbestos fibres, but some workers were exposed vermiculite or talc that was contaminated and also to fragments of asbestos-bearing rocks (ATSDR, 2001). Exposures varied by industry, time and geographical location.
Exposure to asbestos in the workplace is mainly caused by inhalation. However certain workers have been exposed by contact with their skin or eating food that is contaminated. Asbestos is now only found in the natural weathering of mined ores and the deterioration of products contaminated with asbestos like insulation, car brakes, clutches, and floor and ceiling tiles.
There is growing evidence that amphibole fibers that are not commercially available could also be carcinogenic. These are the fibres that do not form the tightly weaved fibrils of amphibole or serpentine minerals but instead are loose, flexible and needle-like. These fibers can be found in the cliffs, mountains and sandstones in a variety of countries.
Asbestos can be absorbed into the environment in a variety ways, including through airborne particles. It is also able to leach into water or soil. This happens both through natural (weathering and erosion of asbestos-bearing rocks) and ananthropogenic (disintegration and disposal of asbestos-containing wastes in landfill sites) sources. Asbestos contamination of ground and surface water is mostly a result of natural weathering, but it has also been caused by human activities like milling and mining, demolition and dispersal of asbestos-containing materials as well as the disposal of contaminated dumping ground in landfills (ATSDR, 2001). Inhalation exposure to asbestos fibers is the primary cause of illness for people exposed to it occupationally.
Crocidolite
Inhalation exposure to asbestos is the most frequent way people are exposed harmful fibres, which could be absorbed into the lungs and cause serious health problems. This includes asbestosis and mesothelioma. Exposure to fibres can occur in a variety of ways, for example, contact with contaminated clothing or materials. The dangers of exposure are heightened when crocidolite which is the asbestos in the blue form is involved. Crocidolite is smaller and more fragile fibers, which are easier to breathe and can be lodged deeper in lung tissue. It has been linked to more mesothelioma cases than other types of asbestos.
The six main types of asbestos are chrysotile amosite, epoxiemite, tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite. The most well-known forms of asbestos are epoxiemite and chrysotile, which together make up 95% all commercial asbestos used. The other four forms haven't been as popularly used however, they could be present in older buildings. They are less hazardous than amosite and chrysotile, however they can pose a risk when combined with other asbestos minerals, or when mined in close proximity to other mineral deposits, such as talc or vermiculite.
Numerous studies have shown the connection between stomach cancer and asbestos exposure. The evidence is contradictory. Some researchers have cited an SMR (standardized death ratio) of 1.5 (95 percent confidence interval: 0.7-3.6), for all asbestos workers, whereas others have reported an SMR of 1,24 (95 percent confidence interval: 0.76-2.5), for those working in chrysotile mines and mills.
IARC The IARC, which is the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified all forms of asbestos carcinogenic. All kinds of asbestos may cause mesothelioma or other health problems, but the risk is dependent on how much exposure individuals are exposed to, the kind of asbestos involved as well as the length of their exposure and the way in which it is breathed in or consumed. IARC has stated that the best choice for people is to stay clear of all forms 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 it is recommended that they seek advice from their GP or NHS 111.
Amphibole
Amphiboles are a grouping of minerals that can create prism-like or needle-like crystals. They are a type of inosilicate minerals made of double chains of SiO4 molecules. They typically have a monoclinic structure in their crystals however, some have an orthorhombic structure. The general formula of an amphibole is A0-1B2C5T8O22(OH,F)2. The double chains consist of (Si,Al)O4 Tetrahedrons that are joined in rings of six. The tetrahedrons can be separated by strips of octahedral sites.
Amphiboles are found in metamorphic and igneous rock. They are usually dark and hard. They are sometimes difficult to differentiate from pyroxenes as they share similar hardness and colors. They also share a corresponding design of 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 consists of chrysotile, and the five types of asbestos: amosite anthophyllite (crocidolite) amosite (actinolite) and amosite. While the most frequently used form of asbestos is chrysotile each type has its own distinct characteristics. The most harmful type of asbestos, crocidolite, is made up of sharp fibers that are simple to inhale into the lungs. Anthophyllite is yellowish to brown in color and is composed of magnesium and iron. The variety was used previously in cement and insulation materials.
Amphibole minerals are hard to study because of their complex chemical structures and many substitutions. A thorough analysis of the composition of amphibole minerals requires specialized techniques. The most commonly used methods for identifying amphiboles is EDS, WDS, and XRD. These methods are only able to provide approximate identifications. For instance, these techniques, cannot distinguish between magnesio hornblende and hastingsite. These techniques also don't differentiate between ferro-hornblende or pargasite.
