Title: Asbestos mines, prospects, and occurrences in the US Publication_Date: 2011 Series_Information: Series_Name: Open-File Report Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Reston, Virginia Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://tin.er.usgs.gov/asbestos/ Description: Abstract: Location and mineralogical characteristics of former mines, prospects, and occurrences of asbestos in the continental US. No asbestos producing mines are currently active. Data here are drawn from several previously published reports. Purpose: Provide general characteristics of historical mines and other occurrences to support regional mineral resource assessment and analysis of potential environmental effects.
