Mineralfibrer
Långa, böjliga, sammanhängande, naturliga eller konstgjorda fibrer av varierande längd. De bildar vissa minerals struktur. Deras medicinska betydelse består i deras förmåga att orsaka olika typer av dammlunga (t ex asbestos) efter arbetsmiljöexponering.
Förklaring på engelska
Long, pliable, cohesive natural or manufactured filaments of various lengths. They form the structure of some minerals.
