D017610	Calcium Compounds	Inorganic compounds that contain calcium as an integral part of the molecule.	Compounds, Calcium
D017632	Asbestos, Serpentine	A type of asbestos that occurs in nature as the dihydrate of magnesium silicate. It exists in two forms: antigorite, a plated variety, and chrysotile, a fibrous variety. The latter makes up 95% of all asbestos products. (From Merck Index, 11th ed, p.893)	Chrysotile,Serpentine (Mineral),Serpentine Asbestos,Antigorite,Asbestos, Serpentine, Chrysotile (Mg3(OH)4(Si2O5))
