Pneumoconiose minérale fibrogène consécutive à l’inhalation prolongée et massive de fibres d’amiante. 4, record 11, French, - amiantose
Record number: 11, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Nous pensons qu’il est préférable d’employer le terme «amiantose», parce que le terme «asbeste» ne se rapporte qu’à un seul type d’amiante. Voir la justification qui suit. 5, record 11, French, - amiantose

Devant le cas de synonymie géographique que posent les termes utilisés pour désigner la maladie professionnelle contractée à la suite d’une exposition aux fibres d’amiante, soit «amiantose» au Québec et «asbestose» en France, on est en droit de penser qu'«amiante» et «asbeste» présentent [...] une parenté notionnelle [...]. [...] le terme amiante entretient avec le terme asbeste une relation de générique à spécifique, le terme «amiante» pouvant s’appliquer à la fois au chrysotile et aux amphiboles. Quant au terme «asbeste», on le réserve aux seules variétés amphiboliques. 6, record 11, French, - amiantose

Le mélange intime de l'amiante avec le ciment est précédé du défibrage du chrysotile, préalablement débarrassé de la roche au lieu même de son extraction. Les fibres, naturellement agglomérées, passent dans un broyeur à meules qui rompt les faisceaux, puis dans un désintégrateur qui les sépare le plus complètement possible et les transforme en une sorte d’ouate. 3, record 12, French, - d%C3%A9fibrage
