tremolite (bredigite)

12/15/2018 - "Further TEM analyses of the tremolite samples used in the original animal implantation studies have also shown that the numbers of elongate tremolite particles with lengths ≤5 μm implanted into the animals are not correlated with the observed mesothelioma frequencies."
01/01/2019 - "The risk of mesothelioma was lower in those exposed to tremolite than others. "
02/01/2011 - "Case report of peritoneal mesothelioma in a mill worker from a tremolite free Canadian mine. "
07/01/2003 - "Official institutions are organising a series of initiatives to verify the hypothesis of a causal relationship between the presence of tremolite and the cases of pleural mesothelioma, and preventive initiatives aimed at reducing exposure and to a sanitary surveillance. "
07/01/2003 - "[Three cases of pleural mesothelioma and environmental pollution with tremolite outcrops in Lucania]."

09/01/2017 - "Lung cancer in a patient with predominantly short tremolite fibers in his lung."
08/01/2003 - "The findings suggest that exposure to tremolite fibres from cultivated fields may increase the risk of lung cancer in New Caledonia."
08/01/2003 - "The association between exposure to field dust and lung cancer was limited to men and women exposed to this whitewash-that is, living in areas where the soil may contain tremolite. "
09/01/2017 - "This study strongly indicates that such short tremolite fibers will induce lung cancer and possibly mesothelioma in human."

06/01/1997 - "Asbestosis due to environmental exposure to tremolite in Turkey. "
12/01/1994 - "The tremolite burdens for the asbestosis cases were one to two orders of magnitude greater than those for the mesothelioma cases. "
08/01/1994 - "Asbestosis seems to be associated with long-fibre chrysotile and tremolite in one study and short fibres in others. "
09/01/1997 - "We found significant excesses of lung tremolite and chrysotile and estimated cumulative exposure in those with lung cancer and asbestosis compared to those with lung cancer without asbestosis. "
12/01/1990 - "We have previously shown that in the lungs of a group of chrysotile miners and millers, grade of interstitial fibrosis (asbestosis) is directly proportional to tremolite fiber or chrysotile fiber concentration but is inversely proportional to mean fiber length and length-related parameters.

02/01/2014 - "We performed a rat carcinogenesis study using Japanese tremolite and Afghan anthophyllite. "
02/01/2014 - "Rat model demonstrates a high risk of tremolite but a low risk of anthophyllite for mesothelial carcinogenesis."
03/01/2015 - "Adult patients of age ≥18 years with erionite-related pleural diseases and genetically predisposed mechanisms to erionite carcinogenesis were included, while exclusion criteria included asbestos- or tremolite-related pleural diseases. "

08/01/2005 - "As Calidria chrysotile has been certified to have no tremolite fiber, the results of the current study together with the results from toxicological and epidemiological studies indicate that this fiber is not associated with lung disease."
12/01/2003 - "As Calidria chrysotile has been certified to have no tremolite fiber, the results of the current study together with the results from toxicological and epidemiological studies indicate that this fiber is not associated with lung disease."
08/01/2011 - "In 2000, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR; Atlanta, GA, USA) investigated lung disease in those exposed to the tremolite-contaminated vermiculite mine in Libby, MT, USA. "
