Effective Therapies for Asbestos Inhalation and Disease Development

Another interesting study called "correlation of selected indices of exposure to asbestos," according to Jeremiah R. Lynch, Howard E. Ayer, Douglas L. Johnson
. - American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, Volume 31, Issue 5 September 1970, p. 598-604 Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - based on the assumption that the biological effects of asbestos refers to the concentration of respirable fibers, the index has been developed which gives the concentration in the numbers of asbestos fibers visible under 430 x phase-contrast illumination. Data shown on this overall index of dustiness as measured by impinger counts and absolute concentration and fiber distribution as measured by electron microscopy. the relationship between the calculated estimates and gravimetric measure of the total chrysotile asbestos dust and concluded from the analysis of magnesium are given for total and respirable samples. These relationships have been developed for use in operations in the manufacturing of asbestos textiles, friction, cement and insulation products. the most appropriate, practical and direct index of exposure to asbestos fibers showed the concentration of fibers longer than 5 microns counted on membrane filters at 430 x phase-contrast light. "

Another interesting study entitled "The Movement of selected metals, asbestos and cyanide in soil: Applications for waste disposal problem" by Fuller, WH - Here is an excerpt: "This report presents data on the movement of selected hazardous substances in soil that can be applied to problems of selecting and operating land disposal site for waste containing arsenic, asbestos, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, iron, lead, mercury, selenium and zinc. information on literature, laboratory studies of movement of dangerous substances through the soil in municipal landfills leachate, and the author's experience in soil science and waste disposal. the discussion of soil and waste relating to the factors to consider in selecting and managing the migration of landfill for a minimum of danger, the report also presents general information on soils and geological materials and specific information the chemistry of selected hazardous substances that is relevant to understanding their migration in the soil ."

We all owe a debt of gratitude team of researchers. If you find any of these statements interesting, please read the study in its entirety.
