Excerpt
Introduction: There are now ample data to indicate that drinking waters taken from cities throughout the United States and Canada contain naturally occurring asbestos minerals (13).While chrysotile asbestos is the most prevalent form seen, amphibole asbestos is also found either alone or, more commonly, in admixture with the chrysotile variety. Millette et al. (4) found concentrations of chrysotile asbestos in drinking water ranging from greater than 1 x 106 fibersil to more than 10 x 10 fibersil in 186 out of 406 cities in the United States.
