Asbestos an Important Ore with Harmful Effects
Asbestos is a solid material which consists of
six naturally occurring silicate ores, which all

crystals are made up of millions of
infinitesimally minute fibrils that can be
discharged by abrasion and other methods. They
are usually identified by their colors such as
there are blue asbestos, brown asbestos, and
green asbestos. Asbestos mining started more
than four thousand years ago when industrialists
and manufacturers began using asbestos for its
appropriate properties and its large-scale mining
mainly began at the end of the nineteenth
century. All the six minerals from which it is
made are known to be human carcinogens. The six
minerals which mainly constitute the asbestos are

Then there is Transmission Electron Microscopy
which is till now the most sophisticated
technology available for differentiating asbestos

analytic and environmental observing
activities. The commercial asbestos removal is
