History
Prior to 1990, nearly half of the world's production of vermiculite came from a mine in Libby, Montana. The mine became contaminated with asbestos and fibers that resembled asbestos. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that although there is currently no evidence that vermiculite itself poses any health risk, the contaminated vermiculite fibers produced serious health problems for local miners and others who were exposed to them. The mine ceased production in 1990.
Horticultural Uses
Vermiculite has properties that make it an ideal soil additive for horticultural purposes. In its expanded form, the mineral improves soil aeration and provides excellent moisture retention. Horticultural vermiculite is sterile, non-toxic, odorless and permanent. It does not ***eriorate, mold or rot and it typically maintains a neutral 7.0 pH level.
Commercial Uses
In addition to its horticultural and agricultural uses, vermiculite is used extensively by the commercial and home construction industries. The mineral is an important additive to everything from gypsum plaster to acoustic and soundproofing materials. It is used in insulation and for fireproofing as well as for packing, filtration, and absorption. It is added to cement, paint, sealants and dozens of other materials for countless industrial applications. |
