Chemische Eigenschaften
White or greenish (chrysotile), Blue (crocidolite),
or gray-green (amosite) fibrous, odorless solids; freezing/
melting point5600 C (Decomposes). Hazard
identification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System):
Health 2; flammability 0; reactivity 0. Insoluble in water.
Asbestos is a generic term that applies to a number of naturally
occurring, hydrated mineral silicates incombustible in
air and separable into filaments. The most widely used in
industry in the United States is chrysotile, a fibrous form of
serpentine. Other types include amosite, crocidolite, tremolite,
anthophyllite, and actinolite.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
White asbestos is a slender, fine, flaxy fiber. Long term occupational exposure to the dust can result in lung cancer. Asbestos is resistant to fire and most solvents. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Chrysotile (Mg3H2(SiO4)2.H2O) is used as a heat resistant material, in cement, furnace bricks, and brake linings.
Air & Water Reaktionen
Insoluble in water.
Reaktivit?t anzeigen
These substances undergo chemical reactions only under relatively severe circumstances or in the presence of an effective catalyst that promotes reaction. They are resistant to ignition, although they may become flammable at very high temperatures. They will be resistant to oxidation/reduction, except in the most severe conditions.
Health Hazard
Inhalation of material may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation of Asbestos dust may have a damaging effect on the lungs. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Some liquids produce vapors that may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution.
Brandgefahr
Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Some may be transported hot.
Sicherheitsprofil
Confirmed human
carcinogen producing tumors of the lung.
Human mutation data reported. Poison by
intraperitoneal route. Human systemic effects by inhalation: lung fibrosis,
dyspnea, and cough.
m?gliche Exposition
Most asbestos is used in the construction
industry. Much of it is firmly bonded, i.e., the asbestos
is “l(fā)ocked in” in such products as floor tiles, asbestos
cements, and roofing felts, and shingles; while the remaining
8% is friable or in powder forms present in insulation
materials, asbestos cement powders, and acoustical products.
As expected, these latter materials generate more airborne
fibers than the firmly bonded products. The asbestos
used in nonconstruction industries is utilized in such products
as textiles; friction material including brake linings
and clutch facings; paper, paints, plastics, roof coatings;
floor tiles, and miscellaneous other products. Significant
quantities of asbestos fibers appear in rivers and streams
draining from areas where asbestos-rock outcroppings are
found. Some of these outcroppings are being mined.
Asbestos fibers have been found in a number of drinking
water supplies, but the health implications of ingesting
asbestos are not fully documented. Emissions of asbestos
fibers into water and air are known to result from mining
and processing of some minerals. Exposure to asbestos
fibers may occur throughout urban environments perhaps
resulting from asbestos from brake linings and the flaking
of sprayed asbestos insulation material. In recent years,
much effort has been put into removal of asbestos insulation,
particularly from schools and other public buildings
where worn or exposed asbestos causes public exposure.
