Open Access DOI:10.23937/2572-3987.1510003 A Review: Are All Inhaled Fibres, Such as Asbestos, Toxic? Sumayah Abdul-Jabbar and Luigi G Martini Article Type: Review Article | First Published: August 05, 2015 Exposure to asbestos is well known to have a causal relationship with the development of lung cancer. In order to understand the mechanism of this toxicity an extensive review was undertaken. Findings were able to show that the morphology of the asbestos (which is fibrous) has a marked correlation with its toxicity. It is this morphology that mutually contributes to enhanced aerodynamic properties making asbestos ideal for deposition in the lungs as well as giving it mutagenic properties. Theref...
