A 1981 paper by US Geological Survey mineralogist Malcolm Ross, written for the Mineralogical Society of America's Reviews in Mineralogy volume on amphiboles. It reviews the world's commercial asbestos deposits and their geology and the history of production. It surveys mortality studies of asbestos miners and argues that crocidolite is the main cause of mesothelioma and that chrysotile is much less harmful.
