A crucial theme of interest related to environmental pollution is the enhanced mobilization of asbestos minerals affecting soils and rocks due to human activities (e.g., road construction, mining activity) in comparison with natural weathering processes. The volume has aimed to gather contributions and to compare results derived from various experiences of research groups regarding NOA minerals as a source of possible environmental risks for population. Case studies from various geological contexts are presented. Moreover, contributions presenting novel and classical approaches for ACM inertization and recycling, together with possible solutions for reducing asbestos exposure, has been also presented. 610 $aenvironmental monitoring 610 $aasbestos 610 $apolymorphs 610 $aXRD 610 $agrinding test 610 $aasbestos' minerals 610 $aserpentinite soil 610 $aimage analysis 610 $aasbestos-containing materials 610 $ahealth hazard 610 $aNaturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA) 610 $amelting process 610 $atremolite 610 $aSouthern Italy 610 $anaturally occurring asbestos 610 $aRD-UV-Vis spectroscopy 610 $athermal treatment 610 $amorphology 610 $afibrous habitus 610 $atexture 610 $arecycling 610 $aIR 610 $aasbestiform and fibrous minerals 610 $achrysotile 610 $alizardite characterization 610 $aedenite 610 $acleavage fragments 610 $arhino white marble of Namibia 610 $aserpentinites 610 $aserpentine varieties 610 $aantigorite 610 $aPCOM 610 $aaggregates 610 $aSEM 700 $aPereira$b Lola$4auth$01292382 702 $aBloise$b Andrea$4auth 702 $aKusiorowski$b Robert$4auth 702 $aPunturo$b Rosalda$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346690903321 996 $aMineral Fibres$93030437 997 $aUNINA
