Un de six min\u00e9raux de forme fibreuse regroup\u00e9s sous le terme collectif d\u2019amiante<\/a>, le\u00a0chrysotile<\/a>\u00a0est \u00e9galement connu sous le nom d\u2019amiante blanc. Une ressource naturelle ininflammable, le chrysotile est aujourd\u2019hui la seule forme d\u2019amiante commercialis\u00e9e.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Certains pays, dont la France, ont banni le chrysotile pour des raisons de sant\u00e9. Apr\u00e8s des ann\u00e9es d\u2019opposition, le Canada a consenti \u00e0 ce que le chrysotile soit ajout\u00e9 \u00e0 la liste des substances dangereuses de la\u00a0convention de Rotterdam<\/a>\u00a0en 2012. Toutefois, puisque 7 pays persistent dans leur opposition, le chrysotile n\u2019est toujours pas class\u00e9 substance dangereuse par les Nations Unies.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

Utilisation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Le chrysotile est utilis\u00e9 uniquement dans des produits jug\u00e9s sans danger pour le public tels les mat\u00e9riaux de construction (tuyaux, plaques et ardoises), les freins d\u2019automobiles et d\u2019ascenseurs, les joints d\u2019\u00e9tanch\u00e9it\u00e9 de portes, et quelques plastiques. Dans ces produits, la fibre de chrysotile est enrob\u00e9e dans une matrice de ciment ou de r\u00e9sine.3<\/sup><\/p>\n

Mines au Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong><\/h2>\n

La r\u00e9gion de\u00a0Chaudi\u00e8re-Appalaches<\/a>\u00a0\u00e9tait autrefois le centre qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de l\u2019extraction de chrysotile.<\/p>\n

La derni\u00e8re mine en op\u00e9ration au Canada, LAB Chrysotile situ\u00e9e \u00e0 Thetford Mines, a cess\u00e9 ses activit\u00e9s en novembre 2011.<\/p>\n

Le chrysotile demeure pr\u00e9sent dans le sous-sol qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois.5<\/sup><\/p>\n

Le potentiel de d\u00e9veloppement de chrysotile au Qu\u00e9bec est estim\u00e9 \u00e0 une cinquantaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es.6<\/sup><\/p>\n

Faits int\u00e9ressants<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Le mot chrysotile vient des mots grecs pour fibre ou cheveu d\u2019or et chose cueillie ou arrach\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Le chrysotile est utilis\u00e9 depuis 2 000 ans dans des textiles tels les tissus d\u2019incin\u00e9ration et les m\u00e8ches \u00e0 lampe \u00e0 l\u2019huile.<\/p>\n

La production de chrysotile au Qu\u00e9bec date des ann\u00e9es 1877. Jusqu\u2019aux ann\u00e9es 1970, le Qu\u00e9bec \u00e9tait le plus important producteur d\u2019amiante-chrysotile au monde.<\/p>\n

En 2002, le gouvernement du Qu\u00e9bec a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 une politique d\u2019utilisation s\u00e9curitaire et accrue du chrysotile. Celui-ci autorise les produits contenant du chrysotile, dans la mesure o\u00f9 ils sont conformes aux exigences techniques.<\/p>\n
