Abstract

IPA COPYRIGHT: ASHP Levels of 0.5 to 1.0% chrysotile asbestos in talcs can be detected by differential thermal analysis (DTA). The 845DG C exothermic DTA peak is used for the detection of chrysotile. Both naturally occurring serpentine and artificially added chrysotile asbestos can be detected in pure talc and in talcs containing other minerals.
