Journey to the centre of the lung. The perspective of a mineralogist on the carcinogenic effects of mineral fibres in the lungs

Alessandro F. Gualtieri

Summary: This work provides a review of the bio-chemical mechanisms and adverse effects caused by the inhalation and transportation of mineral fibres in the lungs. It focuses on three known carcinogenic mineral fibres and their behavior in the respiratory tract and pleural cavity. The article discusses the specific crystal-chemical characteristics and properties of these fibres, and critically examines their biological and pathological effects related to lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. It also highlights open issues, data gaps, and conflicts in the literature and suggests future research directions for a comprehensive model of the carcinogenicity of mineral fibres.

Identification of iron compounds in chrysotile from the Balangero mine (Turin, Italy) by micro-Raman spectroscopy

Laura Fornasini et al.

Summary: Chrysotile, a regulated asbestos mineral, is recognized as carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The Balangero mine in Italy was the largest asbestos mine in Europe and its chrysotile fibers are now being studied for their toxicity. The presence of Fe on the fiber surface is an important factor in biochemical reactions, generating reactive oxygen species that contribute to asbestos cyto-genotoxicity. The dissolution of Fe-bearing phases in the acidic environment of the lysosomes may also result in the release of hazardous Fe ions in the lungs.

Must countries shoulder the burden of mesothelioma to ban asbestos? A global assessment

Odgerel Chimed-Ochir et al.

Summary: The study found that the burden of mesothelioma has influenced many countries' decisions to ban asbestos, along with its identification. Combining asbestos ban with mesothelioma identification is crucial for eliminating asbestos-related diseases.

Is asbestos still a problem in the world? A current review

Liseane P. Thives et al.

Summary: Asbestos, widely used in various industries for many years due to its unique properties, has harmful effects on human health, including causing different types of cancer. Despite being banned in many countries since the 1980s, asbestos is still present in buildings constructed before the 1990s. A literature review was conducted to provide an overview of asbestos use effects and relevant topics, such as asbestos characteristics, human exposure risks, permitted/banned countries, reducing asbestos in the built environment, and environmental impact. The findings highlight the continued risk posed by asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), especially in areas where asbestos management plans are lacking and awareness of asbestos health risks is low. Developing countries may face more challenges in managing ACMs. The study concludes that a worldwide ban on asbestos is necessary.

Characterization and assessment of the potential toxicity/pathogenicity of Russian commercial chrysotile

Dario Di Giuseppe et al.

Summary: Cancer is a major health issue in the workplace today, with asbestos, particularly chrysotile, being an important carcinogen. Despite its carcinogenic classification by the IARC, chrysotile asbestos is still used in Russia, with the health hazard posed by Russian commercial chrysotile not being quantitatively assessed. This study used the fiber potential toxicity index (FPTI) model to quantitatively determine the potential toxicity of Russian chrysotile, finding it to be lower than amphibole asbestos but higher than the safety threshold for mineral fibers.
