How long does chrysotile stay in the lungs?
(c) Particular properties of chrysotile asbestos Serpentine fibers are seen in autopsies, but their numbers do not correlate with pleural plaques [104], and a recent publication suggests that they are dissolved in lung tissue macrophages in 3–6 months, rather than 50 + years for amphibole fibers [105].
