Short, fine and WHO asbestos fibers in the lungs of quebec workers with an asbestos-related disease.
BACKGROUND The possible role of short asbestos fibers in the development of asbestos-related diseases and availability of lung fiber burden data prompted this study on the relationships between fiber characteristics and asbestos-related diseases among compensated workers. METHODS Data collected between 1988 and 2007 for compensation purposes were used; lung asbestos fibers content of 123 Queb...
متن کاملThe association among ferruginous body, uncoated fibers, asbestos and non-asbestos fibers in lung tissue in terms of length
To demonstrate the correlations between the concentrations of ferruginous body as well as uncoated fiber both of which can be observed with phase-contrast microscope and the concentration of various inorganic fibers including asbestos which requires the observation with TEM or SEM, we measured those indices among Japanese and Korean cases. Though the concentration of ferruginous body in lung ti...
متن کاملElectron microscopical investigation of asbestos fibers
Examination of asbestos fibers by electron microscopical techniques enables the observer to distinguish among the fiber types by morphological and structural characteristics. Chrysotile asbestos fibers are composed of bundles of fibrils. Fibers are often curvilinear with splayed ends. Individual fibrils consist of a central capillary defined by an electron dense crystalline wall. With increasin...
متن کاملAsbestos fibres in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from asbestos workers: examination by electron microscopy.
The uncoated and coated fibre load in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was assessed using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x ray microanalysis in 15 subjects with previous, unprotected exposure to asbestos, including three with clinical and radiological evidence of asbestosis, and in 13 urban dwelling control subjects with no known occupational exposure to asbestos. The mea...
متن کاملSemiquantitative Chemical Analysis of Asbestos Fibers and Clay Minerals with an Analytical Electron Microscope
By using a transmission electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer, it Was possible to detect the morphological, structural, and chemical characteristics of individual asbestos fibers and clay minerals without any realignment of the equipment. A rapid and convenient procedure for semiquantitative analysis is proposed. Analyses are given for 21 hydrous silicates, asbesto...
