Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Haemolytic activity of some fibrous amphiboles and its relation to their specific surface areas

Notes: Sumario: The haemolytic activities of number of fibrous amphiboles, representing the five main types of this class of mineral, were measured. It was shown that there is a positive correlation between haemolytic activity and specific surface area. The mechanism of amphibole haemolisis is discussed and it is suggested that this is due to interaction between the fibre surface and proteins in the erythrocyte membrane. A positive correlation between haemolytic activity and adsorptive capacity for human serum albumin was demonstratedRelated records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 1, July 1977 ; p. 39-48Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Anfíbol Toxicidad Enfermedades profesionales Hematología Medicina laboral Otros autores: Holmes, A.
