Asbestos, chrysotile (12001-29-5), a slender, fine, flaxy fiber, also can be called Magnesium hydrogen orthosilicate hydrate (3:2:1) ; Antigorite ; Chrysotile ; and White asbestos .Long term occupational exposure to the dust can result in lung cancer. It is resistant to fire and most solvents. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment.
