“…Instead, one can find information that these organisms can colonize asbestos-containing materials. Cassiola et al [95] showed that yeast cells of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae species trapped in chrysotile washed with tap water and activated by sonification at pH = 4.7 to remove the brucite layer and obtain fibers of shorter length manifested fermentative activity but were less able to bud. Another study [96] evaluated the viability of S. cerevisiae cells on chrysotile and crocidolite activated by the method as in the aforementioned cited experiment and on chrysotile heated for three days under a reflux condenser with hot fuming hydrochloric acid to remove the brucite surface and make the fibrous layer available.…”

Many countries banned asbestos due to its toxicity, but considering its colossal use, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, disposing of waste containing asbestos is the current problem. Today, many asbestos disposal technologies are known, but they usually involve colossal investment and operating expenses, and the end- and by-products of these methods negatively impact the environment. This paper identifies a unique modern direction in detoxifying asbestos minerals, which involves using microorganisms and plants and their metabolites. The work comprehensively focuses on the interactions between asbestos and plants, bacteria and fungi, including lichens and, for the first time, yeast. Biological treatment is a prospect for in situ land reclamation and under industrial conditions, which can be a viable alternative to landfilling and an environmentally friendly substitute or supplement to thermal, mechanical, and chemical methods, often characterized by high cost intensity. Plant and microbial metabolism products are part of the green chemistry trend, a central strategic pillar of global industrial and environmental development.
