Background and aims : Asbestos components are one of the most hazardous air pollutants that can cause a number of serious diseases in humanincluding asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma . The main goal of this research was the assessment of occupational exposure effects with Asbestos fibers on pulmonary function and lung capacity disorders in worker of an Asbestos- cement pipe and plate m...
Cellular mechanisms of asbestos toxicity rely, at least in part, on the chemical composition of these minerals. Iron ions are directly involved in the accepted mechanism of fiber toxicity because they constitute active centers where release of free radicals and reactive oxygen species takes place. Although no current technology is available for the remediation of asbestos polluted sites, the so...
Carcinogenic agents can influence the carcinogenic process either by mutating critical target genes or by increasing the number of cells at risk for mutations. Cytogenetic and molecular studies of asbestos-related cancers indicate that inactivation or loss of multiple tumor suppressor genes occurs during lung cancer development. Aneuploidy and other chromosomal changes induced by asbestos fiber...
Asbestos fibres, when released into the air, can pose serious health hazards to exposed people. The aim of this study was to determine the concentration of respirable asbestos fibres in a highly urbanized and densely populated town, where asbestos-containing materials have been widely used in building constructions. Their presence and degree of corrosion were the main criterion for location of ...
The potential for health risks to humans exposed to the asbestos minerals continues to be a public health concern. Although the production and use of the commercial amphibole asbestos minerals-grunerite (amosite) and riebeckite (crocidolite)-have been almost completely eliminated from world commerce, special opportunities for potentially significant exposures remain. Commercially viable deposit...
Asbestos is the principal agent in the etiology of malignant mesothelioma. However, a small proportion of people exposed to asbestos develop mesothelioma. This suggests the role of host factors in the genesis of the tumor. A genetic susceptibility is suggested by the occurrence of more mesothelioma cases among blood-related members of a single family. Such an occurrence reached about 4% in a la...
The relationship between racial disparities in occupational risk and lung cancer diagnosis is not well defined. We examined exposure to asbestos, silica, other workplace chemicals, fumes, or dusts as reported the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). Descriptive analyses multivariate logistic regression models were performed. Among NLST study cohort, 3.9% diagnosed with cancer. African-American...
The cytotoxic effects of asbestos are partly mediated by the production of free radicals, including nitric oxide (NO). SV40 has been suggested to synergize with asbestos in the pathogenesis of malignant mesothelioma. Crocidolite asbestos fibers induced in human mesothelial and malignant mesothelioma cells a significant increase of NO synthase activity and expression, which was absent in SV40-in...

In vitro exposure of red cells to vie International Union against Cancer (UICC) standard reference asbestos samples resulted in an increase of thiobarbituric acid substances. Chrysotiles developed the largest amounts of lipid peroxides, followed by anthophyllite, amosite, and crocidolite in decreasing order. Compared with the control samples erythrocytes free of dusts, all types of the asbestos...
