Phosphate Fibers is a singular detailed account of the
discovery, chemistry, synthesis, properties, manufacture, toxicology,
and uses of calcium and sodium calcium polyphosphate fibers. Author
Edward J. Griffith-the inventor and developer of this safe,
biodegradable material-takes a multidisciplinary approach to
this subject, considering the social, legal, medical, and industrial
issues surrounding the use of asbestos and other mineral fibers. This
compelling study is a beneficial resource to both readers interested
in mineral fibers as well as those who want to understand the
complexities of bringing new substances into the modern marketplace.

Reviews for Phosphate Fibers
'An enjoyable and informative book. It is a 'must-read' for phosphate chemists and engineers but should also find broad appeal.' Journal of the American Chemical Society, 120(13), 1998
