Asbestos a Complete Carcinogen or Just a Promoter Trying to better understand the mechanism of mesothelioma disease has been the goal of many researchers. Some believe that a threshold may exist between duration and intensity of asbestos exposure and the induction of mesothelioma. One interesting study is called, "Possible role of lipid peroxidation in the induction of NF-kappa B and AP-1 in RFL-6 cells by crocidolite asbestos:...more
Understanding Cellular and Enzyme Responses of Chrysotile Asbestos Occupational exposure to asbestos causes the death of thousands of people each year. This has led to an almost unparalleled body of research trying to better understand asbestos and its link to mesothelioma disease. One interesting study is called, "Kinetics of the bronchoalveolar leucocyte response in rats during exposure to equal airborne mass concentrations of quartz, chrysotile asbestos, or titanium dioxide." by K Donaldson, R E Bolton, A Jones, G M Brown, M D Robertson, J Slight, H Cowie, and J M Davis - Thorax 1988;43:525-533. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - The kinetics of the bronchoalveolar response was assessed in rats exposed, at equal airborne mass concentration (10 mg/m3), to titanium dioxide--a non-pathogenic dust--and the two pathogenic mineral dusts quartz and chrysotile asbestos. Rats were killed at intervals over a 75 day exposure period and groups of rats exposed for 32 and 75 days after recovery for two months. Bronchoalveolar lavage was carried out and the lavage fluid characterised for cellular content, macrophage activation, and concentrations of free total protein, lactate...more
Asbestos Inhalation Nitrate Levels and Cellular Mutation When asbestos fibers are broken into small pieces they can be swallowed or inhaled and lead to mesothelioma disease. This disease is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people each year, and consequently is the subject of a great deal of research. One important study is...more
Clustering of Mesothelioma Cases and Asbestos Exposure When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can attack the membranes surrounding the heart, lungs and abdomen and lead to disease development. Mesothelioma alone causes the death of over 2,000 people each year. Identifying the links between this deadly disease and asbestos exposure are...more
Blue Collar Workers and the Mesothelioma Menace Manual laborers suffer from mesothelioma disease in an inordinate amount. This has been the subject of much research. One important study is called, "Analysis of the cores of asbestos bodies from members of the general population: patients with probable low-degree exposure to asbestos" by Churg A, Warnock ML - Am Rev Respir Dis. 1979 Oct;120(4):781-6. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Asbestos bodies were isolated from the lungs of 21 patients who had 300 to 9,000 of such bodies/g of lung tissue, a concentration frequently found in manual laborers in the general population who are not primary asbestos workers. All of the 123 bodies examined by electron diffraction produced diffraction patterns consistent with amphibole varieties of asbestos. Electron microprobe analysis (energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy) of 46 bodies revealed that 38 of the cores were composed of the commercial amphiboles, amosite and crocidolite, whereas only 8 were composed of the noncommercial amphiboles, anthophyllite and tremolite. Review of the occupations of these patients revealed that all but one had blue-collar jobs. For many of these persons,...more
