Download or read book Mineral Fibres man made Vitreous Fibres written by Canada. Environment Canada and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This assessment addressed the subset of mineral fibres known as man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF) for which the database was considered to be sufficient. They include rock and slag wools, glass wool, glass microfibres, continuous glass filaments, and aluminisilicate refractory ceramic fibres (RCF). This report provides a summary of information critical to the assessment of toxicity, including their identity, properties, production, and uses; their entry into the environment; toxicokinetics; and exposure-related and effects-related information. It also provides an assessment of their toxicity under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, including toxicity for the environment, the environment on which human life depends, and on human life or health.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of a meeting held at IARC early in 1996, this volume provides a thorough and up-to-date synthesis of the mechanisms of fibre carcinogenesis. A consensus document assesses the strengths, weaknesses and gaps in the data concerning fibre characterization and genotoxicity, fibre-related cell proliferation and activation, gene expression, animal models, mixed dust exposure and interactions with other carcinogens. The relevance of mechanistic data from in vitro and in vivo assays to the evaluation of fibre carcinogenicity are also discussed. Authored review papers, also published in this volume, provide the background material for much of the discussion.

Download or read book Review of the U S Navy s Exposure Standard for Manufactured Vitreous Fibers written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-09-07 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufactured vitreous fibers (MVF), also known as synthetic vitreous fibers, are considered to be less hazardous than asbestos to human health. They are used in many thermal- and acoustical-insulation applications as an asbestos substitute or as a filtration medium. The Navy uses MVF in shipboard and onshore applications. To protect Navy personnel from harmful exposures to MVF, the U.S. Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC) developed occupational exposure standards. The documentation assists industrial hygienists, occupational medicine physicians, and other Navy health professionals in assessing and controlling the health hazards linked with exposure to MVF. In 1997, the National Research Council (NRC) was asked to conduct an independent review of the Navy's toxicological assessment of MVF and to evaluate the scientific validity of its exposure standard of 2 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (f/cm3). The NRC assigned the task to the Committee on Toxicology, which established the Subcommittee on Manufactured Vitreous Fibers, a multidisciplinary group of experts, to determine whether all relevant toxicological and epidemiological data were correctly considered in developing the exposure standard; and to examine the uncertainty, variability, and quality of data and the appropriateness of assumptions used in the derivation of the exposure standard. The subcommittee was also asked to identify deficiencies in the MVF database and, where appropriate, to make recommendations for future research and data development. Review of the U.S. Navy's exposure Standard for Manufactured Vitreous Fibers represents the subcommittee's final report. The committee had expanded its review when in January 1999, the Navy revised its Occupational Safety and Health Program Manual (CNO 1999), changing the occupational exposure limit for MVF to the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) threshold limit value (TLV) of 1 f/cm3. The report features recommendations by the subcommittee as well as information gaps found throughout investigation. Overall, the subcommittee found that the Navy made a good start in assessing the health effects of MVF, but needed further research.

Download or read book Mineral Wool written by B Sirok and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2008-05-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mineral wool has a unique range of properties combining high thermal resistance with long-term stability. It is made from molten glass, stone or slag that is spun into a fibre-like structure which creates a combination of properties that no other insulation material can match. It has the ability to save energy, minimize pollution, combat noise, reduce the risk of fire and protect life and property in the event of fire. Mineral wool: Production and properties describes the technological process of mineral wool production and the physical characteristics of the melt and theoretical bases of multiregression and dimensionless theory. This is followed by the introduction of the fibre cooling model in the blow-away flow and the influence of temperature in the melt film (on the rotating centrifuge wheels) on the thickness of forming fibres. The second part predominantly focuses on the use of computer-aided visualisation: tools for the diagnostics of fibre and primary layer formation. Special attention is given to the study of aerodynamic characteristics of the airflow which significantly influences the quality of the final product. Mineral wool: Production and properties is suitable for engineers, researchers and for graduate and postgraduate students who want to broaden their knowledge of experimental methods in this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the more than 30 million tons of asbestos used in the United States since 1900 is still present as insulation in offices and schools, as vinyl-asbestos flooring in homes, and in other common products. This volume presents a comprehensive evaluation of the relation of these fibers to specific diseases and the extent of nonoccupational risks associated with them. It covers sources of asbestiform fibers, properties of the fibers, and carcinogenic and fibrogenic risks they pose.
