Asbestos has been reported to cause pulmonary fibrosis, and its use has been banned all over the world. ... 6 male Fischer 344 rats (6 to 10 weeks old) were exposed to RW fibers at a target fiber concentration of 100 fibers/cm 3 (length [L] > 20 μm) for 6 hours daily, for 5 consecutive days. As a magnetometric indicator, 3 mg of triiron ...

Histological analyses and iron detection by Perls' staining. The enrolled patients had medium to high content of asbestos bodies in their pulmonary parenchyma according to asbestos bodies counts performed on digested lung tissue (as reported in Table 1).Despite the differences in the estimated fibre content or the presence of …

Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy is a well-known technique for thin film characterization. Since all asbestos species exhibit intense adsorptions peaks in the 4000–400 cm −1 region of the infrared spectrum, a quantitative analysis of asbestos in bulk samples by DRIFT is possible. In this work, different …

The BALF asbestos concentration by EM and in lung tissue by LM were positively correlated. The particle fractions of iron and phosphorus were increased in …

The corresponding XRF elemental maps, where the brighter parts indicate the highest elemental concentration, reveal the lateral distribution of the elements under consideration. The Si XRF map clearly evidences the location of the asbestos fibre buried inside the body, confirmed by the XRF spectra taken in the selected central spots, a and c.

Two independent assessments were performed of airborne asbestos concentrations generated during automotive repair work on vintage vehicles . The first involved removal of asbestos-containing seam sealant, and the second involved servicing of a drive clutch. Despite the relatively high concentrations (5.6-28%) of chrysotile …

Waterborne asbestos could originate from natural or anthropogenic sources, leading to non-conventional exposure scenarios. It could be a secondary source of …

Magnetic properties of asbestos fibers Abstract: It is now well known that inhalation of asbestos fibres can cause a number of severe health problems, including …

The modified turbidimetric tech- nique, which uses magnetic separation for the prior concentration of fibers, allowed monitoring of high-iron amphi- boles at the one-million-fiber-per-liter level. ... Clearly, there is no reason why the asbestos fiber concentration should be related to the turbidity measurement, unless the asbestos is the ...

The values have recently been revised and now depend on type of asbestos fibre as well as concentration. The current method of measuring fibre concentration involves examining an exposed filter pad with a high power optical microscope. ... involves orientation of fibres in a strong magnetic field. In the present work, the orientation of …

This is a problem for very low asbestos concentrations where agglomerations or large bundles of fibers may not be present to allow identification by inference. (b) The method requires a great degree of sophistication on the part of the microscopist. ... are two vector components. One is the magnetic vector and the other is the electric vector ...

3.3. Concentrations of Asbestos Fibers in the Air. Asbestos fiber concentration measurements were carried out from 2004–2013. They were executed by passing a certain amount of air through a membrane filter (from cellulose esters) with a pore size of 0.8 μm and a diameter of 25 mm by a pump with a controlled volume of the air.

As reported in the literature, there are more than 30 different standard methods available for the analysis of asbestos in a variety of situations. The methods include those for …

More work is needed to fully characterize the magnetic impurities and compare various asbestos samples. It should be- come possible in the near future to quantitatively determine by EPR the concentration of paramag- netic Fe34' relative to that of ferromagnetic Fe34'.

Results indicate that fibres in the range 5 μm to 20 μm have ferro - magnetic properties and the magnetic moment of individualfibres has been predicted. An analytical technique based on this work has recently been patented and should distinguish between fibre types as well as accurately predicting the airborne concentration of asbestos fibres.

These limits depend on the type of asbestos as well as concentration. Unfortunately, the current analytical technique cannot distinguish between different …

There is disclosed a dry granular calcined magnetic fraction obtained from chrysotile asbestos tailings comprising as its main constituents from 25 to 43% MgO, from 25 to 43% SiO 2, from 15 to 40% iron expressed as Fe 2 O 3, and an MgO/SiO 2 ratio of from 0.8:1 to 1.3:1, said granular material passing a 4 mesh sieve. The novel product is useful for …
