Asbestus
Asbestus (Graece ἄσβεστος, inextinguibilis), interdum linum montanum, est nomen commune nonnullorum mineralium silicatorum, quae naturaliter fibras tenues et lentas formant.
Has fibras ab antiquitate cum lino miscebant et textile faciebant; textile tale in igne positum lino perusto integra manet, undo et nomen mineralis. Saeculo XX etiam ad multas res producendas asbestus usurpabatur, sed probatum est, ut cancri causa asbesti fibrae sunt.
