石棉是一组纤维矿物质的商业术语，通常与职业暴露个体的肺间质纤维化（石棉沉着病），肺癌和恶性间皮瘤的发展有关。不同形式的石棉的致病性各不相同-长而细的闪石纤维是最致病的，特别是在诱导间皮瘤方面。现有数据并不支持建筑物和学校中低水平接触石棉会危害健康的概念。在评估潜在的健康风险时，必须考虑空气中石棉纤维的浓度、石棉的类型和纤维的大小。
Asbestos is a commercial term for a group of fibrous minerals often associated with the development of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (asbestosis), lung cancer, and malignant mesothelioma in occupationally exposed individuals. The pathogenicity of different forms of asbestos varies—long, thin amphibole fibers are most pathogenic, particularly in the induction of mesothelioma. Available data do not support the concept that low-level exposure to asbestos is a health hazard in buildings and schools. The concentration of asbestos fibers in air, type of asbestos, and size of fibers must be considered in evaluation of potential health risks.
