Abstract

Arsenic, scandium, chromium, cobalt and nickel were determined by neutron activation analysis in various Chrysolite-Asbestos from Canada, Russia, Italy in an asbestos plate, and in dry, as well as in wet manufactured asbestos. Following concentration values were found: for As 0.01–5.5 ppm, for Sc 5.4–14.80 ppm, for Cr 79.5–918.8 ppm, for Co 10.8–80.9 ppm, for Ni 148–1786 ppm. Statistically significant differences /t=0.05/ in contents of As, Sc, Cr, Co and Ni were detected in the different samples of asbestos. The concentration of As and Cr in Italian asbestos were considerably higher than in Canadian chrysolite.
