- W2183190395 abstract "Asbestos has been a major health concern in the United States since the 1960s (1). Since then, much has been learned about common asbestos minerals and presented in several works (2-4). For instance, we know that the most commonly used asbestos variety, chrysotile a serpentine mineral, appears to be less harmful than the more rarely used amphibole asbestos varieties (5-7). Also, several studies have shown that the fibrous variety of tremolite, i.e., tremolite-asbestos may be the most harmful of the amphibole minerals (8-12). The creation of regulatory agencies, like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1970, and the regulations they have developed since 1972, have greatly reduced the risk of asbestos-related diseases to the point where, over the past decade, asbestos has fallen off the front page of the newspapers and out of the minds of the general public. This changed on November 18, 1999, when the Seattle Post-Intelligencer published an article about asbestos-related diseases of former miners in Libby, Montana (13). The miners worked in the world’s largest vermiculite mine owned by W.R. Grace from 1963 to its closure in 1990. It had previously been owned by Zonolite Corporation with operations since 1923. The vermiculite ore was reported to contain approximately 5% tremolite-asbestos and exposure to this impurity in the ore caused an increase of asbestosrelated disease in the miners. This article caught the attention of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which arrived on the scene in a few days. Since then, millions of dollars have been spent on remediation in the area and health studies have begun. Originally, the only amphibole believed to be in the mine in Libby was tremolite, however recent work (14) showed that two samples from the mine are winchite, which is not one of the six regulated asbestos minerals. Gunter et al. (15) confirmed these results using the same set of Libby amphibole samples in this morphological study." @default.
