Considerable progress in understanding how inhaled minerals cause
disease in man has been made in the past two decades. This is
mostly due to the great amount of human, animal and cell
multidisciplinary studies carried out on silica, asbestos and
asbestiforms all around the world. Two previous NATO Workshops on
"In Vitro Effects of Mineral Dusts on Cells", have been published
in the NATO ASI Series (1985 and 1989). The present NATO-INSERM
workshop has focused specifically on a group of silicates, named
phyllosilicates because of their sheet structure, of which health
related effects have been poorly and sporadically investigated.
These silicates are presently largely used as filling materials
(kaolin, talc, chlorite), insulating materials (vermiculite,
micas), adsorbants (sepiolite, attapulgite) and in many other
industrial applications. The estimated annual world production is
presently 5.5 million tons of talc (1.8 million for Europe) and
only in the United Kingdom about 3.5 million tons of kaolin.
