Chrysotile Mesothelioma

It Chrysotile mesothelioma is a material from which asbestos is produced, and interpretation from Chrysotile is a serpentine mineral belonging to the asbestiform sub-group. It chrysotile mesothelioma can be found in Russia, Canada and South Africa in four states in the US Some controversy has been equated with the production and use of chrysotile because asbestos is known to be a carcinogen and
is the prime contributor to thoracic mesothelioma. In fact, half of reported cases of mesothelioma have been attributed to industrial and professional use of asbestos.

Although epidemiological studies have confirmed amphibole asbestos fibers as a cause of mesothelioma, the link with chrysotile remains unsettled. A firm understanding of any health risks associated with natural chrysotile fibers is crucial for regulatory policy and future risk assessments of synthesized nanomaterials.

In South Africa in 1960 was recognized existence the effect of high levels of asbestos exposure. Since then, more research and studies have followed suit. It is estimated that each year, about 4 to 5 people population out of one million die by mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure. An extensive review of the epidemiological cohort studies was undertaken to evaluate the extent of the evidence related to free chrysotile fibers, with particular attention to job exposure concentrations, consistency of findings and confounding by other fiber types. Caused mesothelioma if the review of 71 asbestos cohorts exposed to free asbestos fibers does not support the hypothesis that chrysotile, uncontaminated by amphibolic substances.
