Health related effects of phyllosilicates [electronic resource] / edited by Jean Bignon.
This overview covers health related effects of a special group of silicates, named phyllosilicates for their structure (non-fibrous platty crystals), and known for their industrial uses (filling, insulating, adsorbing materials). Their most important contaminant, asbestos, is also discussed. The dif...
