There are mainly three kinds of asbestos:
• Crocidolite with green color, called green asbestos;
• Amosite with gray color, called brown asbestos;
• Chrysotile with white color, called white asbestos.
Green and Brown asbestos are considered as the most dangerous asbestos as they can easily disperse in the atmosphere. These fibers are stick shaped and hard. They tend to stay in lungs and can cause lung cancer and other fatal lung diseases. The use of these asbestos types is forbidden in many countries around the world.
In comparison, white asbestos is spiral shaped. These fibers are soft and they don't disperse easily in the atmosphere. Due to all these properties, white asbestos is considered less dangerous and also is less capable of causing lung cancer. If we take proper protection techniques then we can avoid lung cancer.
Common people affected by asbestos include building contractors, shipyard workers, factory workers and other people with such jobs. The fibers that makeup asbestos can be spun, carded and woven just like cotton.
It was discovered that asbestos has approximately million individuals' fibrils in an inch. Many countries around the world still use asbestos for cladding, piping and other building products. These building products account for 90% of the chrysotile used today.
