This study indicates that -PP can reduce about 25% environmental impacts of the life of composite if it replaces the talc–PP composite ...
As seen in the above literature, extraction operations can have many names, including gravel pit and dredging site. The terms quarry and mine are most common, yet they are often used interchangeably (Segura-Salazar and Tavares, 2021). This can cause issues for identification of significant environmental aspects, as most mining operations tend ...

For the last several years, Montana has been the leading talc producing state in the United States (U.S. Geological Survey, 1996). For example, in 1992 Montana supplied about 40 percent of the U.S. mine production of talc (Virta, 1992). All of this production has come from the large deposits of high purity talc in the southwestern part of the state.
The term talc refers both to the pure mineral and a wide variety of soft, talc-containing rocks that are mined and utilized for a variety of applications. Talc forms mica-like flakes. Talc is the softest mineral on the Mohs hardness scale …
In the early 1970s, findings of asbestos in talc, and findings of talc colocated in ovarian tumor tissue, led to public controversy. 1–5 For over 40 years, talc mining and manufacturing companies attempted to obfuscate the importance of these findings by keeping exposure information behind a corporate veil and otherwise influencing medical information concerning the health effects and ...
