Chrysotile White Asbestos: Understanding the Risks and Safe Removal Practices

What is Chrysotile Asbestos?

Chrysotile white asbestos is the most common type used throughout the world. Having a hardness similar to a human fingernail. It is also known to crumble very easily into fibrous strands composed of smaller bundles of fibrils.

This mineral has a fibrous form (fibre-like texture) and is also known as White Asbestos. Due to the natural colouration of the fibres. Asbestos is the name given to the collection of minerals grown in a fibrous manner.

Common Uses of Chrysotile Asbestos:

Asbestos is a highly durable material that is commonly used in the production of textiles, roofing products, insulation materials, cement, and brake pads. However, it is important to note that asbestos exposure can cause serious health conditions such as asbestosis, pleural disease, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. While fewer cases have been reported linking mesothelioma to white asbestos compared to amphiboles like amosite and crocidolite, any level of asbestos exposure can still be harmful and should be avoided. For more information about these diseases and health conditions, we would always recommend reaching out to either the NHS or Mesothelioma UK.

Should you locate any asbestos in your home or place of work, the best course of action is to notify an asbestos testing/sampling and/or removal expert immediately. Asbestos-related illnesses are one of the biggest killers known to man and should treated with extreme caution and professionalism.
