Asbestos can increase the mutation frequency of E. coli after friction by around one order of magnitude. Box-plot of mutant frequency induced by asbestos (crocidolite fibres) treatment in E. coli MG1655. The asterisk represents a significant difference; Mann-Whitney U: P < 0.05. Equal letters represent no differences while different ones represent significant differences.
