Title Surface chemical and physical behavior of chrysotile asbestos in natural waters and water treatment
 
Creator Bales, Roger C.
 
Description Chrysotile asbestos fibers enter California waters from physical weathering of magnesium-silicate, serpentine rocks in mountains of the northern and central portions of the state. Chrysotile particles, initially positively charged below pH 8.9 because of their magnesium-hydroxide surface, become negatively charged due to dissolution and adsorption of organic matter.
