Like other types of amphibole asbestos, and consists of long fibers and straight, sharp and make it is up very similar to those of another variety, tremolite amphibole vary colors between white or gray to dark brown and green, which is usually found in metamorphic rocks is made up of actinolite other metals, such articles as follows:

Tremolite asbestos

Tremolite is responsible for hundreds of cases of cancer diagnosed in asbestos all over the world in general and the United States in particular. As with other forms of asbestos, which belongs to the family of amphibole fibers and needlelike Airborne falling easily into the respiratory system, making it a particular form of toxic metals. This may metal silicate ranging in color from white to green, depending on the levels of magnesium and iron content in tremolite.

Tremolite asbestos is considered a major health-risk to humans, which is classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is included as one of the six officially recognized types of asbestos. It is considered a total of amphibole fibers, a group characterized by separation of the metal which are thin and long.

Anthophyllite Asbestos

Began to extract the metal in Finland in 1890. And since then has been to extract smaller deposits in the southern states of North Carolina and Georgia in America.
Although it took longer to anthophyllite must be recognized that the risk of mesothelioma than for amosite, chrysotile asbestos, crocidolite, there is a clear relationship of exposure and the development of mesothelioma.

Chrysotile Asbestos

Studies have shown that exposure to chrysotile asbestos, which is also known as (white asbestos) can cause a number of serious medical conditions including lung cancer and asbestosis mesothelioma. While most commercial uses of asbestos in the United States and was one of chrysotile type, the lower the use of these toxic metals significantly during the past twenty years.
Scientists from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health that should be treated chrysotile asbestos "with almost the same level of concern and unknown forms of asbestos."

Crocidolite Asbestos

Several studies indicate crocidolite asbestos to may be responsible for more deaths than any other type of asbestos because the fibers are very thin and can be inhaled these fibers easily and settles in the lining of the lungs, and even more so than other forms of asbestos. Once inside the body, the fibers do not decompose easily. This can lead to lung cancer and potentially life-threatening conditions in the abdominal area, including lung cancer and mesothelioma and lung fibrosis.


Shared health risks, especially among crocidolite miners. An estimated 20% of the crocidolite miners die from mesothelioma, and research programs, and that people living near crocidolite mines have increased the risk for the development of mesothelioma and other diseases.

Amosite Asbestos

American Cancer Society showed that exposure to amosite asbestos and increase the risk of causing cancer in comparison with other types of asbestos. According to many studies of exposure to amosite asbestos can cause lung cancer and mesothelioma and lung fibrosis.A study conducted on more than 800 former workers who were exposed to amosite asbestos factory in Paterson, New Jersey that nearly 19% of them have died of lung cancer 17 mesothelioma cases occurred. After closing in 1954, move the factory to the Tyler, Texas, until closing permanently in 1972. Among former workers at Tyler 1130, 16% of them died of lung cancer. It is believed many of these cases that have been caused by exposure to amosite.
