Description

Explore the complex history and scientific reality of one of the world's most controversial minerals in Asbestos: Risks, Environment and Impact. Part of the Environmental Health - Physical Chemical and Biological Factors Series, this book examines the dual nature of asbestos. Once celebrated as a miracle mineral for its heat resistance and pliant properties, its status changed as the toxic nature of inhaling its fibrous crystals became clear. This text provides a deep look into the environmental and health implications of asbestos exposure. It covers the transition from widespread industrial use to the bans implemented by many countries and the Environmental Protection Agency since the mid-1980s. While man-made fibers have replaced asbestos in many applications, the book addresses the fact that asbestos can still be found naturally in the environment. Whether you are a medical professional, an environmental researcher, or a student of public health, this publication offers essential knowledge regarding the risks and the ongoing impact of this silicate mineral on human health and the natural world.
