Research on Actinolite

The National Library of Medicine's indexers, who file every article in PubMed under subject headings (MeSH), filed 26 studies in our library under the substance ferroactinolite (actinolite). The indexing is NLM's, not ours. For what these studies mean for people exposed, read our page on actinolite. Each entry links to the study on PubMed and to its journal's page in our library, where you can read the abstract.
