The porosity of amosite and chrysotile asbestos

Am Ind Hyg Assoc J. 1976 Feb;37(2):117-22. doi: 10.1080/0002889768507421.

Abstract

A computer program has been set up in Fortran language to calculate pore size distribution using the Cranston-Inkley method of calculation. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms were determined on amosite and chrysotile asbestos at - 195 degrees C. Size reduction had a major effect on increasing pore volumes of both asbestos materials.
