Solubility of chrysotile asbestos and basalt fibers in relation to their fibrogenic and carcinogenic action.

Fiber length and persistence are thought to be determinants for the development of toxic, fibrogenic, and carcinogenic effects of fibrous dusts. When the solubilities of chrysotile asbestos (CA) and basalt fibers (BF) were compared by measuring the loss of silica and magnesium in Leineweber's s...
