Objectives: To evaluate the biodurability of balangeroite, present as contaminant of chrysotile asbestos in the Balangero mine, in order to have indication whether it might have been a confounding factor in the association of the mesothelioma cases reported among mine workers and employees.

In order to examine whether such fibers may contribute to the oxidative damage produced by local asbestos dusts when inhaled, balangeroite was studied by means of both cell-free and cellular tests, comparing the results with those concerning the most pathogenic asbestos form, crocidolite.
