- Comparative Hazards of Chrysotile Asbestos and Its Substitutes: A European Perspective .
- Although the use of amphibole asbestos (crocidolite and amosite) has been banned in most European countries because of its known effects on the lung and pleura, chrysotile asbestos remains in use in a number of widely used products, notably asbestos cement and friction linings in vehicle brakes and clutches. ... We conclude that chrysotile asbestos is intrinsically more hazardous than p-aramid, PVA, or cellulose fibers and that its continued use in asbestos-cement products and friction materials is not justifiable in the face of available technically adequate substitutes. Key words: aramid, asbestos, cancer, cellulose, chrysotile, fibrosis, hazards, PVA, substitute fibers. ...

- The Asbestos Standard, 29 CFR 1910. ...
- Initially used by the ancient Greeks who spun it into a cloth-like material, asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that's been known to man for centuries. In modern times, asbestos first became widely used during the industrial revolution by manufacturers who valued both its structural strength and insulating properties.
- The popularity of asbestos escalated during the early to mid 20th century. By the 1930s asbestos was known as the "miracle mineral," and it was used in everything from insulation and fire walls, to Christmas tree ornamentation. As the century progressed, sprayed asbestos fireproofing materials were incorporated into new building construction. It's estimated that half of the multi-story buildings constructed during the '50s-'70s contain some form of sprayed asbestos containing materials.
- Studies were indicating that asbestos presented a health risk. By the '70s, the federal government began to regulate asbestos, and OSHA's Asbestos Standard, 29 CFR 1910. ...
- With the information now available concerning the dangers associated with asbestos, it's vital for those exposed to have an awareness of the health hazards it presents. Knowledge of air monitoring methods and appropriate personal protective equipment is also important for employees working with asbestos.
- Because asbestos is a mineral fiber, the macrophages are unable to remove it from the lung. The macrophages deposit a coating on the asbestos fiber, and scar tissue begins to form around it.
- Asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma are three diseases associated with asbestos exposure. ... Asbestosis is prevalent among workers who have been exposed to large doses of asbestos over a long period of time.
- Studies indicate that employees exposed to industrial concentrations of asbestos have an increased risk of lung cancer. This risk is compounded for smokers who work with asbestos. ... It's the rarest of the three asbestos-related diseases.

- What Is Asbestos? .
- Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals. ... Some asbestos fibers are curly (or "serpentine"). The most common asbestos in industrial use, known as chrysotile, or white asbestos, has curly fibers. Other asbestos fibers are straight and needle-like (or "amphibole"). ... Asbestos fibers are resistant to heat and many chemicals. As a result, asbestos has been used as an insulating material since ancient times. Since the industrial revolution, asbestos was used to insulate factories, schools, homes, and ships, to make automobile brake and clutch parts, roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, cement, and textiles, and hundreds of other products. ...
- During the first half of the 1900s, growing evidence demonstrated that asbestos is a health hazard causing scarring of the lungs. In the early 1900s, exposure to asbestos dust in the workplace was not controlled. Beginning in England in the 1930s, steps were taken to protect workers in the asbestos industry by installing ventilation and exhaust systems. However, in the huge shipbuilding effort during World War II, large numbers of workers were exposed to high levels of asbestos. As asbestos-related cancers became better recognized in the second half of the twentieth century, additional measures were taken to reduce exposure, and exposure standards were established. In addition to more careful handling, there has been a dramatic decrease in the import and use of asbestos since the mid-1960s, and alternative insulating materials have been developed. As a result, asbestos exposure has dropped dramatically in the United States. ... And in this country, there is still a potential for exposure from asbestos that remains in place in older buildings, water pipes, and other settings. ...
