asbestos
Of, or relating to asbestos
Any of several fibrous mineral forms of magnesium silicate, used for fireproofing, electrical insulation, building materials, brake linings, and chemical filters; The small fibres can cause cancer when lodged in the lungs
is a mineral fiber that can pollute air or water and cause cancer or asbestosis when inhaled The U S EPA has banned or severely restricted its use in manufacturing and construction and the ARB has imposed limits on the amount of asbestos in serpentine rock that is used for surfacing applications
The name is also given to a similar variety of serpentine
A mineral fiber used in some building materials such as flooring, siding, insulation, and roofing It is presently banned for uses in real property
A group of impure magnesium silicate minerals which occur in fibrous form Includes the forms chrysotile and tremolite Uses include fireproofing, insulation, reinforcing agent in rubber and plastics and paint filler Hazard: Restricted pulmonary function, dyspnia, fibrosis, confirmed human carcinogen producing lung tumors
a mineral fiber that can pollute air or water and cause cancer or asbestosis when inhaled EPA has banned or severely restricted its use in manufacturing and construction
(1) A common form of magnesium silicate which was used in various construction products due to it's stability and resistance to fire Asbestos exposure by inhaling loose asbestos fibers is associated with various forms of lung disease (2) The name given to certain inorganic minerals when they occur in fibrous form Though fire-resistant, its extremely fine fibers are easily inhaled, and exposure to them over a period of years has been linked to cancers of the lung or lung-cavity lining and to asbestosis, a severe lung impairment
Natural minerals mined from rock and used in construction Properties include noncombustibility, corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and both thermal and electrical insulating capability
{i} fireproof material
A group of six different fibrous minerals formerly used as fireproof insulation material that can cause certain types of cancer and increase the risk of developing benign intestinal polyps
a fibrous amphibole; used for making fireproof articles; inhaling fibers can cause asbestosis or lung cancer
One of the characteristics of this fibrous mineral is its high resistance to heat
A carcinogenic, fibrous mineral used in a variety of building materials Home health risks arise when age, accidental damage, normal cleaning or remodeling activities cause the asbestos-containing material to crumble, flake or deteriorate
A mineral fiber than can pollute air or water and cause cancer or asbestosis when inhaled EPA has banned or severely restricted its use in manufacturing and construction
n Any of several minerals that readily separate into long flexible fibers Asbestos was formerly used as fireproof insulating materials and has since been implicated a cause of certain cancers
A mineral material once widely used on clutches and brake linings Asbestos dust is a known cancer-causing agent
A mineral once used in insulation and other materials that can cause respiratory diseases Asbestos has been clasified as carcinogenic (See carcinogen) National Safety Council on Asbestos
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber extensively used in construction due to its stability and resistance to fire It may be found in vinyl flooring, patching compounds and textured paints, sprayed acoustic ceilings, acoustic ceiling tiles, stove insulation, furnace insulation, pipe insulation, wall and ceiling insulation, roofing shingles and siding as well as appliances Exposure to asbestos can be a serious threat to one's health and has been linked to cancers of the lungs There are a number of choices available for dealing with asbestos They include leaving it alone, encapsulation and abatement Removal of this material is a specialized procedure and should be attempted only by a qualified and licensed expert Information regarding identification of asbestos, its hazards and safe removal may be obtained from the U S Consumer Product Safety Commission, Environmental Protection Agency and other governmental agencies
A strong and incombustible fiber widely used in the past for fireproofing and insulation The small, buoyant fibers are easily inhaled or swallowed, causing a number of serious diseases including: asbestosis, a chronic disease of the lungs that makes breathing more and more difficult; cancer; and mesothelioma, a cancer (specific to asbestos exposure) of the membranes that line the chest and abdomen
