Notes: Paper read at the Workshop on Health Risks Associated with Chrysotile Asbestos, held in Jersey, Channel Islands, 14-17 November 1993Sumario: Chrysotile asbestos has been a uniquely valuable mineral throughout the 20th century. Its effects on human health have been studied at least as extensively as any other material. Given the substantial changes in the patterns of use of asbestos over the past three decades, this review will, hopefully, help to focus on issues of current relevance. It should be noted that, except in the United States, there is no central data collation of asbestos product production by country so that it is difficult to break down specific product types as they relate to total consumption of asbestos. However, as will be emphasized, the vast majority of chrysotile asbestos consumed worldwide is used in asbestos-cement productionRelated records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 4, August 1994 ; p. 453-458Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes biológicos Serpentina fibrosa Amianto Usos industriales Fábricas de cemento Secondary titles: Título: The Annals of occupational hygiene
