Abstract
In hydrodynamic research, it has been found that suspensions of asbestos fibers greatly reduce the friction in turbulent flow. The effect seems to be enhanced when high length-todiameter particles predominate in the suspensions. In this work new techniques of suspending, dispersing, and visualizing asbestos fibers have been utilized. The present paper shows how these techniques for hydrodynamics research can be adapted to the study of the carcinogenic potential of asbestos products.
