  • Title: [Ecologic and hygienic evaluation of chrysotile asbestos fibers elimination in cargo handling and transportation on railways].
    Journal: Med Tr Prom Ekol; 2011; (5):41-4. PubMed ID: 21789805.
    Abstract:
    Studies proved that plastic bags with chrysotile asbestos put in rows and piled packs covered by shrinkable film, when stored and cargo handling, are not sources of chrysotile asbestos fibers release into the air of workplace. Transporting mass consignment of chrysotile asbestos on railways in covered waggons, irrespective of package, does not result in higher asbestos load for railway workers, passengers and residents of area near railways.
