Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Biological indicators of chrysotile exposure

Notas: Paper read at the Workshop on Health Risks Associated with Chrysotile Asbestos, held in Jersey, Channel Islands, 14-17 November 1993Sumario: Chrysotile asbestos is retained in lung tissue, where it may be used as a marker of exposure. Studies include analysis of sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, but principally lung parenchyma from autopsy or surgically resected specimens. Asbestos bodies form on chrysotile fibres but are generally not a good indicator of human exposure to chrysotile because of their greater probability of formation on amphibolesRegistros relacionados: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 4, August 1994 ; p. 503-517Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes biológicos Serpentina fibrosa Amianto Fibra mineral Usos industriales Enfermedades profesionales Enfermedades pulmonares Valores TLV Títulos secundários: Título: The Annals of occupational hygiene
