08/01/2000 - "Risk of mesothelioma from exposure to crocidolite asbestos: a 1995 update of a South African mortality study."
01/01/1998 - "This study aimed to estimate exposure-response relationships for mesothelioma and environmental exposure to crocidolite. "

02/01/2013 - "This study investigated cancer and mortality of adults exposed to blue asbestos as children. "
01/01/2005 - "[A study on risk of malignant neoplasm and environmental exposure to crocidolite]."
11/01/2013 - "The neoplasm is typically associated with crocidolite asbestos exposure. "

02/01/2013 - "All-cause mortality and cancer incidence among adults exposed to blue asbestos during childhood."

01/01/2016 - "Effect estimates were larger for cohorts controlling for male subjects, Europe and Oceania, mining and textile industries, exposure to crocidolite, long study follow-up (>25 years), and SMR for lung cancer > 2.0. "
04/01/2002 - "The frequency and duration of the work suggested that there would be a sufficient degree of exposure to crocidolite fibers to cause lung cancer. "
03/01/1996 - "Exposure to crocidolite and the incidence of different histological types of lung cancer."
06/01/2012 - "If the cohort had the same exposure to crocidolite asbestos the number of lung cancer and mesothelioma cases would have been significantly greater than observed. "
01/01/2014 - "Fibres with fluoro-edenitic composition behave similarly to the asbestos crocidolite, whose connection with inflammation and lung cancer is well established."

08/01/2019 - "Overall, the incidence of malignant mesothelioma in the MWCNT-7 group was significantly higher than in the vehicle or crocidolite groups."
01/01/2018 - "A hierarchy in migration, isolation and a shortage of workers led to Italians at Wittenoom incurring higher cumulative exposure to blue asbestos and subsequently a greater rate of malignant mesothelioma than Australian workers. "
01/01/2013 - "[One case report on malignant pleural mesothelioma by crocidolite]."
02/28/2012 - "Malignant mesotheliomas in former miners and millers of crocidolite at Wittenoom (Western Australia) after more than 50 years follow-up."
03/01/2009 - "Predicted mortality from malignant mesothelioma among women exposed to blue asbestos at Wittenoom, Western Australia."

01/01/1998 - "We have studied the p53 response to the exposure of crocidolite asbestos in A-549 lung carcinoma cells using three different methods, i.e., p53 immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and metabolic labelling followed by p53 immunoprecipitation. "
01/01/1998 - "Crocidolite asbestos causes an induction of p53 and apoptosis in cultured A-549 lung carcinoma cells."
06/01/1995 - "The incidence of lung carcinomas in crocidolite group was 6.4% (3/47), in B(a)P group 10.4% (5/48) and crocidolite plus B(a)P group 46.3% (25/54). "
12/01/1988 - "There was an elevated (P<0.05) incidence of thyroid gland C-cell adenomas (control, 4/117, 3%, vs. exposed, 23/250, 9%) and of thyroid gland C-cell carcinomas (12/117, 10%, vs. 46/250, 18%) in crocidolite asbestos-exposed female rats relative to concurrent controls. "
01/01/1984 - "After intratracheal instillation of glass fibres and crocidolite in male Syrian golden hamsters, besides lung carcinomas a number of mesotheliomas of the epitheloid type occurred. "
