The Dangers of Exposure to Asbestos
Asbestos was a component in thousands of commercial products prior to when it was banned. Research has shown that exposure to asbestos can cause cancer and other health issues.
It is difficult to tell by looking at a thing if it is made up of asbestos. Neither can you smell or taste it. It is only visible in the event that asbestos-containing products are chipped, drilled or broken.
Chrysotile
At its peak, chrysotile made the majority of asbestos production. It was widely used in industries including construction insulation, fireproofing, and construction. If workers are exposed to asbestos, they can develop mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses. Since the 1960s, when mesothelioma began to become a major concern, the use of asbestos has been drastically reduced. However, trace amounts can still be found in the products we use today.
Chrysotile is safe to use in the event that you have a complete safety and handling plan in place. It has been proven that at the present exposure levels, there is no undue risk to the workers handling the substance. Inhaling airborne fibres is strongly linked to lung fibrosis and lung cancer. This has been proven both for the intensity (dose) as well as duration of exposure.
In one study, mortality rates were compared between a manufacturing facility that used a large proportion of chlorosotile to make friction materials and national death rates. It was discovered that, over the course of 40 years, processing asbestos chrysotile in low levels of exposure there was no significant excess mortality in this factory.
In contrast to other forms of asbestos, chrysotile fibres tend to be smaller. They can penetrate the lungs and then enter the bloodstream. They are therefore more likely to cause health problems than fibres with longer lengths.
When chrysotile gets mixed with cement, it's extremely difficult for the fibres to breathe and pose health risks. Fibre cement products are extensively used in various parts of the world including hospitals and schools.
Research has shown that amphibole asbestos like amosite or crocidolite is less likely than chrysotile to cause diseases. Amphibole asbestos forms have been the primary source of mesothelioma, as well as other asbestos-related illnesses. When chrysotile is mixed in with cement, it forms a tough, flexible building product that can withstand extreme weather conditions and other environmental dangers. It is also easy to clean up after use. Asbestos fibres can be easily removed by a professional and safely taken away.
Amosite
Asbestos refers to a group of silicate fibrous minerals that occur naturally in certain types of rock formations. It is composed of six general groups: amphibole, serpentine anthophyllite, tremolite and crocidolite (IARC 1973).
Asbestos minerals are composed of thin, long fibres that range in length from very thin to broad and straight to curled. They are found in nature as individual fibrils or as bundles with splaying edges called fibril matrix. Asbestos is also found in a powder form (talc), or combined with other minerals to make talcum powder or vermiculite. They are used extensively in consumer products such as baby powder cosmetics, and even face powder.
Asbestos was used extensively in the first two thirds of the 20th century for shipbuilding, insulation, fireproofing, and various other construction materials. The majority of occupational exposures to asbestos fibres were in the air, but some workers were also exposed to asbestos-bearing rocks and contaminated vermiculite. Exposures varied from industry industry, era to and geographic location.
Most of the asbestos-related exposures in the workplace were due to inhalation, but certain workers were exposed by skin contact or by eating food contaminated with asbestos. asbestos compensation is currently only found in the environment due to natural weathering of mined ores and the degradation of contaminated products such as insulation, car brakes, clutches, as well as floor and ceiling tiles.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that non-commercial amphibole fibres may also be carcinogenic. These are fibres that are not the tightly weaved fibrils of amphibole and serpentine minerals, but instead are loose, flexible and needle-like. These fibres are found in the mountains and cliffs from a variety of countries.
Asbestos can be found in the environment as airborne particles, but it can also leach into soil and water. This can be caused by both natural (weathering of asbestos-bearing rocks) and anthropogenic causes (disintegration of asbestos-containing wastes as well as disposal in landfill sites). Asbestos contamination in surface and ground water is mostly caused by natural weathering. However it is also caused by humans, such as through mining and milling of asbestos-containing materials, demolition and dispersal, and the removal of contaminated dumping material in landfills (ATSDR 2001). Inhalation exposure to asbestos fibres is still the primary cause of illness among people exposed to asbestos in the workplace.
Crocidolite
Inhalation exposure is the most popular method of exposure to asbestos fibres. These fibres can get into the lung, causing serious health problems. Mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other illnesses are caused by asbestos fibres. Exposure to fibres can occur in other ways, too like contact with contaminated clothing or construction materials. This kind of exposure is particularly dangerous when crocidolite (the blue form of asbestos) is involved. Crocidolite fibers are softer and less brittle and therefore easier to inhale. They can also get deeper in lung tissue. It has been linked to more mesothelioma-related cases than other asbestos types.
The six main types of asbestos are chrysotile, amosite, epoxiemite, tremolite anthophyllite, and actinolite. The most commonly used forms of asbestos are epoxiemite and chrysotile, which together make up 95% all commercial asbestos used. The other four asbestos types are not as well-known, but can still be found in older structures. They are less dangerous than amosite or chrysotile, but they can still be a risk when combined with other minerals or when mined near other naturally occurring mineral deposits, such as talc and vermiculite.
Numerous studies have proven an association between stomach cancer and asbestos exposure. However the evidence isn't conclusive. Certain researchers have cited an SMR (standardized death ratio) of 1.5 (95 percent confidence interval: 0.7-3.6), for all asbestos workers, while others report an SMR of 1,24 (95% confidence interval: 0.76-2.5), for those working in chrysotile mills and mines.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified all asbestos types as carcinogenic. All asbestos types can cause mesothelioma however, the risk is dependent on how much exposure is taken, what type of asbestos is involved and how long the exposure lasts. IARC has declared that the best choice for people is to stay clear of all forms of asbestos. However, if a person has been exposed to asbestos in the past and are suffering from an illness, such as mesothelioma or any other respiratory diseases, they should seek guidance from their doctor or NHS 111.
Amphibole
Amphiboles are a grouping of minerals that can form needle-like or prism-like crystals. They are a type inosilicate mineral that is composed of double chains of molecules of SiO4. 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 contain (Si, Al)O4 tetrahedrons linked together in rings of six tetrahedrons. The tetrahedrons are separated from one another by octahedral sites that are surrounded by strips.
Amphibole minerals are found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. They are typically dark and hard. They are sometimes difficult to distinguish from pyroxenes since they share similar hardness and colors. They also share a similar design of cleavage. However their chemistry permits an array of compositions. The chemical compositions and crystal structures of the various minerals in amphibole can be used to identify them.
The five types of asbestos that belong to the amphibole group include chrysotile, anthophyllite, amosite and asbestos crocidolite. They also include actinolite. Each type of asbestos comes with its own distinctive properties. Crocidolite is the most dangerous asbestos kind. It is made up of sharp fibers which are easily inhaled into the lungs. Anthophyllite has a brownish to yellowish color and is composed primarily of magnesium and iron. This type was used to make cement and insulation materials.
Amphiboles are a challenge to analyze because of their complex chemical structure and the numerous substitutions. Therefore, a detailed analysis of their composition requires specialized methods. EDS, WDS and XRD are the most widely used methods for identifying amphiboles. These methods are only able to provide approximate identifications. These techniques, for example cannot differentiate between magnesio hornblende and magnesio hastingsite. These techniques also cannot distinguish between ferro-hornblende and pargasite.
