Amosite asbestos, also known as brown asbestos, because of its color changes from gray to brown or gruenerite. Amosite is characterized precisely by its brittle fibers and used for cement sheets and pipe insulation. At the height of the recognition of amosite asbestos was actually the second most used mineral. In South Africa, suffering many miners have mined amosite, because this is the second most dangerous form of asbestos.
AmositeVariety of asbestos has been mainly as a flame retardant in thermal insulation products used as ceiling panels. Brown asbestos is now banned in most countries, and for many years. But it can still be found in older products and structures, and are still potential hazards, particularly because this form of asbestos is very fragile. This simply shows that if damaged it crumbles, releasing air from the fibers, which can then be inhaled by thein the field of matter.
Amosite asbestos is detected a form of asbestos to cause mesothelioma. This is an amphibole. The crystals are different and can be as flat prisms, are brittle grain, or long term, fine fibers. Fiber is often in the natural state beams. The long, thin son amosite are quite flexible and bend to develop broad arches. The long arms of amosite fibers divide into smaller groups, which put the needle about Sharp-type fibers.
Thelast parts of the fibers are flat and not damaged or split ends is a feature that distinguishes chrysotile amosite. Broken beams are frequently found and tails like a broom in appearance. Part of the crystal fibers can be identified in a number of materials that were produced with amosite.
As a form of asbestos, amosite caused many cases of cancer (including mesothelioma) among people from different countries, but especially in the vicinity of amositeMines in South Africa, the world's largest commercial source of amosite. The workers who mined and transformed cancer rates amosite far lower than the general population.
Each mineral is used to amosite asbestos in the United States, probably amosite mines in the Transvaal, South Africa. Amosite asbestos was commonly used in thermal insulation and building products such as slabs, tiles, tiles, insulation, plumbing, insulation panels,Dry insulation, gaskets, lagging, cement sheets, electricity and telecommunications isolation.
