| Abstract |
This study investigates whether respirable asbestos-cement dust particles are physicochemically different from pure asbestos dust. Dust from autoclaved sheet, non-autoclaved sheet, and pipe were examined. The asbestos content decreased with fraction size. The physicochemical behaviour of dust as shown by dissolution kinetics and adsorption of carcinogens from tobacco smoke is comparable to the behaviour of cement rather than asbestos. Conclusions drawn from studies of pure asbestos cannot be directly applied to asbestos-cement dust. |
