A particle of 10 microns in diameter has about the same mass as 1 million particles of 0.1 microns in diameter, but it is much less dangerous because it probably never enters the human body, and if it would penetrate, it is quickly removed .
- In some countries there are already proposals for new regulations, where it comes to limiting the Particle Size or particle number, goes.
- Another aspect that has not been sufficiently documented, the question is to what extent the shape of the particles can shape of the particles affect health.
It is widely recognized that the hazardous spring-like form of asbestos settles down in the lungs, often with dire consequences.
Geometric square shapes have more surface area than round shapes, which in turn affects their binding capacity with other, perhaps more dangerous substances.
lung disease
Advance to explain
are lung diseases caused by the inhalation of dusts and subsequent thereto lung deposition with subsequent tissue reaction.
fibrosis is the abnormal proliferation of the connective tissue of organs. The connective tissue hardens and leads to severe dysfunction of the affected organs. When pulmonary fibrosis results in the formation of connective tissue between the alveoli and the blood vessels that surround them.
