Abstract
⺠Naturally Occurring Asbestos are exposed to lichen deterioration. ⺠Asbestos minerals in lichen-colonized veins undergo chemical modifications. ⺠Different asbestos are differently affected in their toxicity-relevant properties. ⺠Incongruent dissolution patterns are associated to significant asbestos inactivation. ⺠Lichen deterioration may yield asbestos bioattenuation, but not in all cases.
