Erionite - what it is, why it’s a concern and how we can manage this mineral
Usually associated with volcanic/igneous geology, this zeolite mineral, while not considered a commodity (so not like asbestos) has, in some cases, exhibited properties and human health consequences (like asbestos) that require study and an understanding of how it can be characterized, measured, and monitored. This hour-long presentation delves into several related areas of interest for AU/NZ stakeholders to assist in decision-making on small to large scale projects. This lecture covers:
- What is Erionite
- Geologic Occurrences
- Why Cause for Concern (R meso rates and IARC monograph)
- Case Studies from Multiple Continents
- Analytical Challenges
- Typical Project Design Elements for Erionite (bulk and airborne)
