Ascorbic acid modifies the surface of asbestos: possible implications in the molecular mechanisms of toxicity
…consequence of the erosion of the outmost layers while hydration of silica tetrahedra yields new silanol groups. The activity in the Fenton-like reaction (OH from H(2)O(2)) decreases following surface iron depauperation. Conversely…

Free radical generation in the toxicity of inhaled mineral particles: the role of iron speciation at the surface of asbestos and silica
…1.3 to 29 nmol/mg. It also increased one radical reaction, breaking a carbon-hydrogen bond, about 3-fold, while heating in air fully stopped that reaction. The other reaction, hydroxyl radical release from hydrogen…
