A natural deactivation of chrysotile asbestos occurs on serpentinite rocks where lichens selectively grow on the fibres and secrete metabolites, including oxalic acid, which, in the long term, turn the fibres into a non-toxic amorphous material.
温石棉在蛇纹岩上会自然失活,在地衣选择性地生长在纤维上并分泌包括草酸在内的代谢产物的地方,从长远来看,这些代谢产物会将纤维转化为无毒的无定形物质。
