Crocidolite may be responsible for more deaths than any other type of asbestos, because its fibers are extremely thin, causing them to lodge more easily in lung tissue. Lead and lead compounds are toxic and can present a Because two oxygen are shared with other tetrahedra, pyroxenes have formulas that contain (SiO 3) or (Si 2 O 6). The content of each section has been updated where needed in the light of published research over the 21 years between editions. Less obvious, but equally valid, is that amphibole formulas contain (Si 8 O 22). Because two oxygen are shared with other tetrahedra, pyroxenes have formulas that contain (SiO 3) or (Si 2 O 6). Komatiite was named for its type locality along the Komati River in South Africa, and frequently displays spinifex texture composed Because of their fibrous shape (a roughly 1:20 aspect ratio) and properties, fibrous crystals of actinolite are regulated as asbestos.

Thin sheets of slate have historically been used for paving or roofing stone. Less obvious, but equally valid, is that amphibole formulas contain (Si 8 O 22). Asbestos (/ s b s t s, z-,-t s /) is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral.There are six types, all of which are composed of long and thin fibrous crystals, each fibre being composed of many microscopic "fibrils" that can be released into the atmosphere by abrasion and other processes. Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide).The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO 4 silicon-oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO 2.Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar..

Komatiite (/ k o m t i a t /) is a type of ultramafic mantle-derived volcanic rock defined as having crystallised from a lava of at least 18 wt% MgO. 6.23 Zoned clinopyroxene seen in thin section. (tremolite) distinct: cleavage is present but may not be manifested as perfectly smooth planes: which explains why the specimen in Figure 3.62 appears to have a square cross section. The most common mining sites for this type of asbestos were Bolivia, Australia and South Africa. Orthoclase, or orthoclase feldspar (endmember formula K Al Si 3 O 8), is an important tectosilicate mineral which forms igneous rock.The name is from the Ancient Greek for "straight fracture," because its two cleavage planes are at right angles to each other. A 2.7 cm, well-terminated, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored vesuvianite crystal is the focal point of this showy miniature from the famous Jeffrey Mine.

For thin fibres (width < 0.2 m), Asbestos is a collective name for six different types of fibres: chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite, anthophyllite, tremolite, actinolite (see Section 1). Thin sheets of muscovite and some quartz come close. However, according to internal documents, dozens of tests have found minerals such as tremolite, chrysotile, and actinolitewhich, in certain forms, constitute asbestosin the companys talc.

Asbestiform minerals are defined as crystal aggregates displaying these characteristics: groups of separable, long, thin, strong, and flexible fibers arranged in parallel [ATSDR 2001a]. The minerals in this rock cannot be identified in hand specimen, but in thin section quartz, feldspar, and chlorite can be seen. It melts easily and quickly.
