environ.	asbestos Generic name for a group of fibrous mineral silicates. It includes blue asbestos (crocidolite), white asbestos (chrysotile) and brown asbestos (amosite). After they are mined the asbestos fibres are separated from the rock and are spun into a cloth. When inhaled the fibres penetrate the lungs and the tissues of the bronchial tubes, resulting in asbestosis, a crippling lung disease. Asbestos also causes cancer of the lung and the gastro-intestinal tract, and mesothelioma, a malignant cancer of the inner lining of the chest. However, because it is a poor conductor of electricity and highly resistant to heat it has been widely used over the years in fire-fighting suits, and building and insulating materials. The fibrous form of several silicate minerals, at one time widely used for electrical and thermal insulation; the use of all forms of asbestos is now either banned or strictly controlled in many countries since it causes cancer (一类纤维状矿物硅酸盐的总称。包括蓝色石棉(青石棉)，白色石棉(温石棉)和棕色石棉(铁石棉)。在挖掘出来后石棉纤维被从岩石中分离，并且被纺进一块布料中。如果被吸入，纤维将会穿过肺和支气管的组织，导致石棉沉滞症，一种会导致失去其功能的肺病。石棉也会引起肺部和胃肠部的癌症，以及间皮瘤，一种胸部内的恶性癌症。然而，因为它是一种便宜的导电物质，而且高度绝热，多年来它被广泛应用到防火服装，建筑物和绝缘材料中。包括被广泛应用的绝缘和绝热材料中的许多硅酸盐的纤维形式 ，石棉的各种用途现在已经被很多国家禁止或严格控制，因为它会导致癌症。)
