Hola.
Ojalá me puedas ayudar con este término que no encuentro en los diccionarios. Es una interpretación así que no tengo contexto pero el tema es químico y habla del crisotilo, del asbesto y de los anfíboles.
Muchas gracias de antemano.

The first attempt, as that of the U.S. EPA in 1989, failed, and it is
significant to note that the concerns addressed in Senators
Murray’s proposal to ban all types of asbestos relate to the
situation in Libby (Montana), which involved an amphibole,
tremolite asbestos, and is not chrysotile.

It is essential that terms be defined and understood.
Asbestos is a generic name given to the fibrous variety
of six naturally occurring minerals used in commercial
products. Asbestos minerals belong to two groups:
chrysotile and amphibole. Overwhelming scientific
evidence proves that chrysotile presents must less
health risk than the ** amphiboles **. This is important
because only chrysotile is used in or imported into the
United States today, and only in a few products in
which the fibers are firmly encapsulated in a matrix.
