Abstract
Chrysotile is one type of asbestos. The potential pathogenicity of chrysotile is currently a controversial issue. This article discussed the carcinogenic and fibrotic mechanisms of chrysotile, its etiological factors (including fiber concentration, form, durability and so on)and the epidemiologic study results, so that we can understand clearly the health hazards of chrysotile.
