Assessing the human health risk of mineral fibres is an intricate task. In the recent article by Wylie and Korchevskiy (2021) – Carcinogenicity of fibrous glaucophane: how to fill data gaps? (Curr. Res. Toxicol. Vol. 2, pp. 202–203), the authors discuss the potential toxicity and pathogenicity of fibrous glaucophane from the Franciscan Complex, California (USA). Because most of the points of discussion concerns the mineral fibre toxicity/pathogenicity model developed by our research group and the application to the case of fibrous glaucophane (Gualtieri, 2021, Curr. Res. Toxicol. Vol. 2, pp. 42–52), the aim of this Letter is to clear some basic issues, to fill some information gaps and, with a constructive spirit, to provide a complete picture on this topic.

Abstract
Assessing the human health risk of mineral fibres is an intricate task. In the recent article by Wylie and Korchevskiy (2021) – Carcinogenicity of fibrous glaucophane: how to fill data gaps? (Curr. Res. Toxicol. Vol. 2, pp. 202–203), the authors discuss the potential toxicity and pathogenicity of fibrous glaucophane from the Franciscan Complex, California (USA). Because most of the points of discussion concerns the mineral fibre toxicity/pathogenicity model developed by our research group and the application to the case of fibrous glaucophane (Gualtieri, 2021, Curr. Res. Toxicol. Vol. 2, pp. 42–52), the aim of this Letter is to clear some basic issues, to fill some information gaps and, with a constructive spirit, to provide a complete picture on this topic.
