SESSION MMO1 Asbestos' Minerals Researches For Environmental And Human Health Safeguard
Conveners: Giovanna Rizzo (University of Basilicata), Rosa Sinisi (IMAA-CNR, Tito scalo, Potenza)
In the last decade, many researchers have focused on asbestos minerals with the aim to assess and monitor their potential as natural material dangerous for the environment and human health. Asbestos is classified as a carcinogen material of Category 1 by the World Health authorities. Its toxicity has been related to morphological, size and chemical-physical features of crystals. This session welcome contributions on petrology, mineralogy and geochemistry of the rocks containing naturally occurring asbestos, and other geo-matrices interacting with them. The main aim is to provide new data and new research perspectives to a world-wide scientific audience that more and more often is called to support the local organizations about the comprehension of (natural) geological hazards and the management of sites and water resources dangerous for human health.
