1. Characterization of mineral wools obtained from ornamental rock wastes
Abstract The study aimed to characterize the mineral wools obtained from wastes of the cutting step of marble and granite, in order to evaluate the possibility of their use on an industrial scale. Mixtures of marble and/or granite wastes were prepared in order to reach the chemical composition of rock and glass wools. The batches were melted in an electric a

2. Recovery of Steelmaking Slag and Granite Waste in the Production of Rock Wool
Steelmaking slag and residues from granite cuttings are industrial wastes with considerable production, however limited applications. This work studied an inertization and recovery process of such wastes as raw materials into production of rock wool (i.e. a thermo-acoustic insulator with growing market). Several batches were produced aiming the chemical prop

3. Concreto auto-adensável, de alta resistência, com baixo consumo de cimento Portland e com adições de fibras de lã de rocha ou poliamida / High strength self-consolidating concrete, with low content of cement Portland and addition of polyamide or rock wool fibers
O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma metodologia que possibilita a obtenção de uma linha de concretos auto-adensáveis de alta resistência, econômicos e com reduzido impacto ambiental quando comparados com os concretos correntes. Para atingir estes resultados foram estabelecidos critérios de dosagem e de produção visando à sinergia entre os ma

4. Hydrogen peroxide release and hydroxyl radical formation in mixtures containing mineral fibres and human neutrophils.
The ability of different mineral fibres (rock wool, glass wool, ceramic fibres, chrysotile A, chrysotile B, amosite, crocidolite, antophyllite, erionite, and wollastonite) to stimulate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl radical (OH.) formation in mixtures containing human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNLs) was investigated. In the presence of azide, all

5. Mortality patterns of rock and slag mineral wool production workers: an epidemiological and environmental study.
An epidemiological and environmental study of rock and slag mineral wool production workers was undertaken at a plant that has been in operation since the early 1900s. Size characteristics of fibres produced by each process at the plant and data from industrial hygiene surveys were used to evaluate current and past exposures. These data suggest that the aver

6. Adsorption of benzo(a)pyrene on to asbestos and manmade mineral fibres in an aqueous solution and in a biological model solution.
The adsorption of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) on to three types of asbestos (chrysotile antophyllite, and amosite) and three types of manmade mineral fibres (MMMF) (rock wool, slag wool, and glass wool) in a physiological water solution was studied. Adsorption was determined from the decrease in the liquid concentration of BaP on the addition of the solid material.

7. Behavior of rock wool in lungs after exposure by nasal inhalation in rats
To evaluate the safety of rock wool (RW fibers), we examined the biopersistence of a RW sample in the lungs of rats, based on the changes of fiber number and fiber size in terms of length and width, by a nose-only inhalation exposure study. Twenty male Fischer 344 rats (6–10 weeks old) were exposed to RW fibers at a concentration of 70 (21) fiber/m3 and

8. Mortality among long-term employees of an Ontario asbestos-cement factory.
Mortality was studied among a group of 328 employees of an Ontario asbestos-cement factory who had been hired before 1960 and who had been employed for a minimum of nine years. The group of 87 men who had worked in the rock wool/fibre glass operations, or who had been otherwise minimally exposed to asbestos, had mortality rates similar to those of the genera

9. Lung function in insulation workers.
To evaluate the effects of working with modern insulation materials (rock and glass wool), the members of the Copenhagen Union of Insulation Workers were invited to participate in a study based on a health examination that included lung function tests. Three hundred and forty men (74%) agreed to participate, and 166 bus drivers served as the control group. A
