James S Webber in Handbook of Hazardous Materials 1993 C Characteristics of Waterborne Asbestos As previously discussed chrysotile is the dominant asbestos type identified in water samples This reflects its widespread use in industry and its abundance in nature Chrysotile with its unique positive surface charge is vulnerable to attack by acids and may degrade in lowpH water

Particularly controversial is the question of whether chrysotile asbestos is less potent for the induction of lung cancer than the amphibole forms of asbestos eg crocidolite amosite and tremolite which has sometimes been referred to as the “amphibole hypothesis” Cullen 1996 Stayner et al 1996 McDonald 1998 This argument is
